Marko Tajčević (1900-1984) was a Serbian Composer. His music education began with violin studies at the Croatian Music Institution (Hrvatski glazbeni zavod) at the time the First World War broke out in Europe with Blagoje Bersa, Franjo Dugan and Fran Lhotka in Zagreb. In 1920 he went to Prague for further music studies where studied composition with Vaclav Stepan. Prague, an important cultural center, made a big impact on young Tajčević. Unfortunately, because of his poor financial situation, he was forced to leave Prague after a year. For a short period of time, Vienna seemed like a good place where Tajčević could continue his music studies. After spending some time in Vienna, where he took lessons with Joseph Marx and Max Springer, he returned to his country to complete his studies.
Tajčević’s complete output totals fifty-four compositions, comprising works for solo voice, choir, chamber orchestra, strings, woodwinds, and piano. He also published books on theory and harmony. His book Osnovna teorija muzike (The Elements of Music Theory) has been extensively used in music schools in the former Yugoslavia. The authentic style of Tajčević is expressed through small forms-mostly miniatures, solo songs, and similar short pieces. There is no copyright infringement intended.
