Английская Википедия:Elena Pucić-Sorkočević
Countess Elena Pucić-Sorkočević, also Elena Pozza-Sorgo (c. 1784–1865) was the first female composer in the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik), located in today's southern Croatia.[1] She was born Elena Lujza Ranjina, and married Nikola Lucijan Pucić-Sorkočević (1772–1855). They had two children: Marina, who married Matej Natali and Lucijan Pucić-Sorkočević. After the fall of the Republic, musical performances were mostly held in private houses of the noble families.
Elena was the first female in Croatia whose compositions have been preserved[2] She has a total of 6 completed compositions, one of them in sketches that are kept at the Franciscan monastery in Dubrovnik. [2] Her compositions were not meant for concert works but rather epistles written to loved ones as expressions of her spirit.[2]
