Sažetak
After the brief publication of three music journals in the second half of the nineteenth century (Sv. Cecilija, Gusle and Glazba) the first half of the 20th century in Croatia was marked by considerably more intensive activity in the field of music periodicals. In the period between 1903 and 1945 eighteen music journals appeared in Croatia. These are: Tamburica (1903-14), Glazbeni (i kazališni) vjesnik (1904-07), Pjevački vjesnik (1904-12), Sv. Cecilija (1907-44), Jugoslavenski muzičar/Muzičar (1923-41), Naša muzika (1924), Hrvatska narodna pjesma (1926-29), Glazbeni vjesnik (1927-31), Muzički informator (1929-33), Muzička revija (1932), Sklad (1932-45), Ćirilometodski vjesnik (1933-40), Grlica (1933-35), Muzika i knjiga (1935-36), Hrvatska tamburica (1936-43), Proljeće (1939-45), Ritam (1941), Svijet jazza (1941). Many of them were unfortunately short-lived. Sv. Cecilija had the longest publication history (1907- 44). In addition, those journals were mostly specialized in different aspects of musical culture. Consequently, editorials did not pay equal attention to music historiography and music history. Thus, in some journals, music history articles were only exceptions or did not exist at all while in others they had a significant place. Among the latter, the above-mentioned Sv. Cecilija especially stands out. With the paradoxical exception of Dragan Plamenac (1895-1983), who is considered a founder of modern Croatian musicology, the most prominent music writers of the time published their contributions in the Croatian music journals. In addition to professional musicologists and musicians, authors who did their research in particular in the field of Croatian music history, were of different professions (historians, teachers, lawyers, priests, journalists, enthusiasts amateurs). When it comes to music-historiographical themes that have occupied the author’s attention, it should be said that they indeed covered a wide spectrum: from occasional articles on the occasion of various anniversaries and obituaries, through various reports of research to documentary and analytical studies, from topics related to the Croatian musical past to those dealing with content from general music history. The role of Croatian music journals in the development of Croatian music historiography is not negligible, in particular when it comes to researching the Croatian musical past. Many of them have initiated new and more thorough research, which, of course, has also brought some revisions. However, there are some articles that still function as fully relevant and respectable documentary sources. On the other hand, a considerable part of them reveals views, opinions, conceptions, interpretations and understanding of the musical and historical factors of the authors themselves. Therefore, all these sources are an inevitable step in any research of Croatian music historiography.
