Das Volkslied im Schaffen der slowakischen Komponisten zwischen 1830–1918 / Ljudska pesem v ustvarjalnosti slovaških skladateljev med letoma 1830 in 1918

Abstract

Folksong was an important phenomenon in the formation of Slovak national music in the nineteenth century and also became a new legitimate means of innovation that contributed to enriching the style of both functional and autonomous music. Folksongs were often harmonized and used in many artistic compositions. These adaptions partly served popular-education, cultural, and political aims on the one hand, and partly artistic and aesthetic aims on the other.
