Trio in D Major for Violin, Violoncello and Piano, Op. 15 Dora Pejacevic

Edition type: score, violin part, violoncello part

Doras first attempt at mastering the classical chamber form was her Piano Trio Op. 15 (1902), which she wrote when she was seventeen, still at the stage of examining the possibilities of the chamber idiom, along the lines of her Romantic models, Dvorák, Schubert, and Tchaikovsky. Written in a simple texture and attractive style, the trio comprises four movements in which dance rhythms and a dance atmosphere often emerge. This cycle made up of four miniatures for a chamber ensemble contains indications of some features which were to be typical to Dora Pejacevic's mature musical expression: an aspiration towards dramatic tensions and thematic coherence
