Sažetak
Although the first indications of the existence of musical life in Đakovo date to the end of the 13th century, its modern beginning dates to the 18th century. Its development is closely related to the arrival of Bishop Antun Mandić as the head of the Diocese of Đakovo. In 1806, Bishop Mandić founded the Episcopal Seminary (Lyceum Episcopale), and appointed Franjo Jakobi, professor of dogmatics, as the first teacher of church singing. At the same time, he invited the Austrian musician and composer Johann Petrus Jakob Haibel, whose wife was Mozart’s sister-in-law, to Đakovo, to take care of the church musical life and assume the directorship of the choir in the Đakovo cathedral. At the beginning of 1807, Mandić appointed Bartol Fischer as a professor of theological subjects in the Seminary, and Fischer was probably the first to informally start teaching the violin in Đakovo. During the 19th century, cathedral choir directors also directed the secular musical life of Đakovo, in addition to Church musical life. In the second half of the 19th century, a family of musicians, the Trischlers, was especially prominent in all aspects of musical life. At the end of that century, it was the civic societies, specifically the Croatian singing society »Sklad« and the Voluntary Fire Department of Đakovo, who assumed the responsibility and became the bearers of musical and cultural life until the beginning of World War II.
It is not known who continued giving violin lessons after Bartol Fischer left Đakovo in 1816. There are assumptions that in the second half of the 19th century the violin was taught by Antun Jobst, who was initially a public school teacher and after that a music teacher at the convent school of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross in Đakovo. At the turn of the century, there was a salon orchestra in Đakovo consisting of members of the Croatian Singing Society »Preradović«, formerly »Sklad«, in which the brothers Makso and Jakov Bruck played the violin. In the first half of the 20th century, there were violinist clerics who performed at solemn church academies playing easy pieces for the violin, such as the clerics G. Knoll, S. Šarić, A. Arnold, and others. The most significant data on violinist activities are those on the implementation of formal violin lessons which took place almost continuously from 1880 to 1924 in the monastery school of the Sisters of Mercy of Holy Cross in Đakovo, where the children of citizens were also allowed to attend.
