Abstract

The article concentrates on the analysis of Parma's opera Goldhorn, which occupies an important place in the composer’s oeuvre as well as in the context of the development of the Slovenian opera. Parma set himself the ambitious task of composing a mythological sujet and in terms of its musical realisation tried to come close to the form of a music drama. The analysis of formal patterns and leitmotivic work reveals that the composer came only halfway in his realisation of this task.
