Slowenische Musik als Bestandteil der Musikkultur der Wiener Slawen in den Jahren 1840–1870

Abstract

To carry out detailed musicological research into the musical life of Slavs in Vienna has been an old obligation of Austrian musicology, and at the same time “a skeleton in the cupboard” of individual Slav musicologies. The paper concentrates on Slovene traces in the city of music – Vienna, based mostly on information coming from the Czech (Vienna Czech) press, which is not a primary source for Slovene musicological research, though of crucial comparative importance. The period covered reaches back to the first references regarding the collaboration of Vienna Slovene with other Slaves in the city, and ends around 1870 when the SLOVENIJA NA DUNAJI Society was founded.
