Abstract

This article considers Josip Kaplan’s composer profile through the reception of his vocal and instrumental pieces. Upon examination of the composer’s legacy, it has been established that there is a disproportion between his instrumental corpus and the reception of Kaplan primarily as a vocal composer. Namely, the volume and the diapason of the instrumental corpus support the prominent author’s instrumental orientation. Examination of the disproportion imposed the need for a reconstruction of the composer’s activities, circumstances, perceptions and attitudes, on the traces of which there are hidden formative forces, which made the instrumental part of Kaplan’s music opus less visible than his vocal one, as far as reception was concerned. This paper is based on interpreting the music records of the composer’s legacy and it includes textual material, ranging from private correspondence, sheet music and autographs, and his diary, to newspaper articles about the composer’s activities. The main objective of this paper is the reinterpretation of Kaplan’s composer profile, namely, a reaffirmation of his instrumental pieces within the framework of Croatian musical creativity.
