Abstract
Forty-two letters that the Croatian music historian Josip Andreis (1909-1982) wrote to his Slovenian colleague Dragotin Cvetko (1911-1993) are preserved at the National and University Library in Ljubljana. The men’s correspondence lasted for almost four decades; the first letter is dated the first year after the Second World War (1946) and the last one a few months before the correspondent’s death (1981). Although these letters mostly do not go beyond the plain communicational level and do not express their author’s views on the music and music life of that time, they represent a persuasive additional source for the biography of Josip Andreis and contribute to awareness on the post-war situation in the former Yugoslavia, in which both correspondents worked to develop musicology on the national level.
