Composed around 1918, when the composer was about 33 years old. German titles, "Zwei Klavierskizzen" (Two Piano Sketches) and "Zwei Klavierstücke" (Two Piano Pieces), exist in the form of handwritten scores and notes on work lists. However, as the works remained unpublished, it is unclear which was the final title. They were first published in 1978 by the Croatian Music Institute (Hrvatski Glazbeni Zavod) under the Croatian title "Dvije skice" (Two Sketches). The two pieces are individually titled: No. 1 "An Dich!" (To You!) and No. 2 "Vor deinem Bild" (Before Your Picture). They resemble a private diary, expressing subtle emotional nuances through the piano, and serve as charming piano sketches.
- No. 1 Op. 44-1: An Dich! (To You!)
- No. 2 Op. 44-2: Vor deinem Bild (Before Your Picture)
