Abstract
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the oldest music school in Zagreb, named in 1962 after the composer Vatroslav Lisinski, Hubert Pettan wrote a book on its history in 1978. This extensive book has remained in manuscript form (kept at the Croatian Music Institute, the Vatroslav Lisinski Music School and the National and University Library) until today. The historical part provides information about the forerunners of the School, i.e. the Music School /Conservatory of the Croatian Music Institute (1829—1920) and the Secondary School of the Academy of Music (1920—1951), as well as the history of the School, ending in 1978. The book is a rich source of information. Particularly valuable are the lists, primarily lists of teachers and students. Based on the literature and knowledge of sources, written without references, this manuscript is completely in line with the common format of such books. Researchers of history of music education in Zagreb should be familiar with this important manuscript.
