Abstract
Ethnomusicology as a systematic scientific branch engaged in research in t e field of folk music, mainly wi h European, but also with the on-European musical cultures, arose in Slovakia in the proper sense of the word after the Second World War. Work was concentrated in two problems: 1) Investigations of Slovak folk music; 2) the solution of general, above all methodical, problems of ethnomusicology. The second problem had to be solved in order sufficiently to overcome the first one. Problems of method appeared in all fields of research, as in documentation (the system of field work) as well as in the evaluation of the material (transcribing, laboratory measurements), in its essential elaboration (cataloguing, analysis, classification) and theoretical work, without omitting comparative, music-theoretical and style-critical studies. It was essential to solve the main methodical questions, because they had to form this new field of research, because on them depended upon what theoretical foundations it would develop.
