She is considered one of Croatia's leading composers. She wrote around 106 works, mostly in the late Romantic style, including piano pieces, chamber music, songs, and orchestral works. Her Symphony in F# minor is considered the first modern symphony in Croatian music. Listen to it below; no score :(
Dora began composing when she was 12. She studied music privately in Zagreb, Dresden, and Munich. She took classes in instrumentation, composition, and violin, but was largely self-taught.
There are two works with chamber music and their respective links to download the scores.
First her Cello Sonata, Op. 35
Second her Piano Quartet, Op. 25
And here's the link to IMSLP where you can find more music:
