Summary
Lute played an important role in the history of the European musical culture of the 16th and 17th centuries. It influenced some processes of musical history to a considerable extent, e.g. stabilization of tonality, development of variety principle, formation of suite and development of note writing. In our musicology literature there are not many works to be found that would deal in detail with the occurrence of lute music in Slovakia or individual relics related to this kind of music. Some mentions about lute music in Slovakia can be found in compilatory /synthetical works of František Fagiba [1], Richard Rybarič [2], Ladislav Kačic [3].
