De Musica Disserenda, XII/1, 2016: Nineteenth-Century Music in Central Europe: Paradigms and Popular Canon
2016
Nations and nationalism have been a main research topic for decades, but the last few years have witnessed noticeable growth in these studies. The perspective generally accepted in the humanities – that demands for political independence of the nations in nineteenth-century Central Europe were premised on a sense of cultural identity – has also been taken up by contemporary musicological thought. Essays by philosopher and social anthropologist Ernest Gellner on “invented nations” in Nations and Nationalism (1983), or by historian and political scientist Benedict Anderson on “imagined communities” in Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (1991), supported …
Predgovor/Foreword

Nel corso del XIX secolo l'idea di popolo e l'idea di nazione hanno prodotto la nascita di nuovi orientamenti nella musica dei paesi slavi della Mitteleuropa. Le fonti cui si sono ispirati i fautori dei movimenti nazionali in Germania, Austria, Polonia, Cekia, Slovenia e Croazia sono state descritte come popolari, ma si tratta in realtà di musiche folkloriche, devozionali, brani d'opera e brani d'autore, che furono usati anche nella musica d'arte (opere e sinfonie), con l'unico scopo di attestare i principi identitari essenziali per la formazione dei futuri stati dopo la caduta dell'impero austro-ungarico. La storia e le tradizioni dei paesi sopra elencati non hanno quasi nulla in comune, s…
Music Migrations from the Bohemian Lands to Trieste and the National Awakening of the Southern Slavs
2017
After obtaining the status of free port under the Austrian administration (1719), Trieste was transformed into a rich cosmopolitan town of the Adriatic sea, in which conveyed German and Slavic peoples, and then some groups from the Mediterranean countries. Among them, the Czechs played a key role in spreading the classical style at the end of the eighteenth century, as testified by the individual migration of composers to the nearby cities of Gorizia and Ljubljana (František Josef Dusík, Vaclav Vratny, Jan Kejha, Johannes Schreiber). Equally important, in the second part of the nineteenth century, was the creation of the modern violin school thanks to the contribution of Friedrich Pixis’s p…
Mitteleuropa oltre il mito. Rinuncia, nostalgia, il caso Moor
2019
The paper focuses on the co-existence of national identities, the concepts of Central Europe as a geographic space, and Mitteleuropa as a cultural space. In particular, it examines the development of a cultural unity need after the fall of the Austrian Empire, namely from the time of independent small states after the WWI, to the time of the iron curtain that reshaped the continent into two halves, West and East, thus delating the spirit of Mitteleuropa. As Milan Kundera wrote in 1983, at end of WWII the civil frame of Central Europe disappeared, and only the idea of a cultural community survived for a long time. On the one hand, the "nostalgia" of Mitteleuropa, and the new policy after the…
Cultural Paradigm and Popular Canon: The Discourse on Nation in Nineteenth-century Music of Slavic Mitteleuropa
2016
Nacionalna identiteta slovanske Srednje Evrope je v razpravi obravnavana z novim pristopom k različnim kulturnim paradigmam, takim, ki upošteva zgodovinske dogodke, preko katerih se je ob koncu 18. stoletja na Poljskem in v 19. stoletju na Češkem, Slovenskem in na Hrvaškem uveljavil splošno priznani glasbeni kanon. Pojav kanona je treba analizirati v okviru, v katerem sta kozmopolitizem in nacionalizem soobstajala v prepletu uporabne in avtonomne glasbe, kar presega zamejevanje v kategorije podrejenosti, prirejenosti in avtonomije. The national identity of Slavic Mitteleuropa is examined by means of a new approach to different cultural paradigms, namely the historical events out of which th…
