Sažetak
The most successful Croatian opera Jakov Gotovac’s Ero s onoga svijeta (Ero the Joker) was premièred in Zagreb on 2 November, 1935. Eleven pieces of music criticism on the première were published in the Croatian press. One of them has been repeatedly cited in contemporary Croatian music journalism. The issue is music criticism written by the composer and music critic Lujo Šafranek-Kavić (1882-1940) and published in the Jutarnji list newspaper on 5 November, 1935. The popular sentence, with which he allegedly concluded his criticism, is: "And again a Croatian composer wrote an opera in vain". But that sentence is pure fabrication and a forgery, because he did not write it. Therefore, Šafranek-Kavić does not deserve to be remembered in Croatian music history as a person who wrongly evaluated Ero. On the contrary, in some of his remarks he concluded that Gotovac had created a master score.
