Abstract

ABSTRAKT From Studies on the Opera Repertoire of the National Theater in the Second Half of the 18th Century. Unknown MA Thesis Defended at the University of Warsaw in 1938 Julian Pulikowski was an associate professor of Musicology who lectured at the University of Warsaw from 1935–1939. The article proves that although there was no formal possibility to defend a Master’s thesis in this field, Pulikowski became an informal supervisor of Gustawa Zysman’s (Krystyna Żukotyńska’s) work. The idea for the topic was conceived in 1934. Stefan Czarnowski, professor at the Department of Cultural History at the University of Warsaw, became the official thesis supervisor. The work titled Opera repertoire of the National Theater as a contribution to the cultural life of Warsaw in the second half of the 18th century was defended in June 1938. It has hitherto remained unknown to researchers – extant only in a typescript stored in the University of Warsaw Archive – as has been the case with Pulikowski’s letter in which he admits his supervision, held in the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow. Although Zysman obtained a Master’s degree in History, the content of the work indicates that it was, in fact, the first work in Musicology defended at the University of Warsaw.
