Forms of Ethnomusicological Activity in Croatia from 1848-1945

Jerko Bezić

Abstract

In taht period teh basic forms of ethnomusicological activity were collecting data, their publishing, their scientific analysis and discussions of certain theoretical questions. The published material consisted of: direct registration of music phenomena, arrangements for chorus performances; and single-voice recordings with piano accompaniment. (Folk instruments and instrumental music are subjects of another paper prepared for this conference) Following individual research efforts, more sistematically organized fieldwork was carried out in the 1920's and 1930's by the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb as well as by activists of Hrvatska seljačka sloga in connection with folklore festivals. Illustrating theoretical issues of the time, teh author presents researcher's views of the subject of ethnomethodological research. It is pointed out that F.Š.Kuhač included urban folk songs among folk music as early as 1890's. Among the theoretical problems, the ethnomusicologist of that period paid most attention to the question of tonal relations, especially to the so called Istrian scale.
