Abstract
No comparative, historical-genetic investigation of folk music can be undertaken without a thorough study of historical sources. This refers especially to the sources of East European music history, in which folk music always occupied a most significant position. Such investigation is of great use to the music historian for the clear differentiation of style between local and general West European music tradition, and the ethnomusicologist has supported, by means of identifying material of folk music records, the possibility of historical-genetic conclusions. Problems in this sense acquire particularly great importance in Slovak folk music, because it developed in the past, and is also developing at present, on the boundary of East and West European music culture. The whole development of our folk music is a continuous process of crystallization and assimilation on account of the boundary of these two cultural areas.
