Abstract
In this article, existing knowledge about the musical life of Karlovac will be complemented by a more detailed reading of newspaper articles about music in the »long« nineteenth century. The importance of the local press, which was very rich in Karlovac, especially comes to the fore for news about musical life and musical occasions. In the framework of this research, the following newspapers in the Croatian language were taken into account: Karlovački viestnik (1861), Glasonoša (1861-1865), Karlovački viestnik (1866), Svjetlo (1884-1905), Sloga (1886-1888), Karlovački glasnik (1899-1903), Glasonoša (1905-1909) and Sloga (1910-1919). The following questions were asked: How important was music as a cultural and social factor in the city? Which individuals, institutions and societies related to music were written about? Who initiated and encouraged the musical life of the city and discussions about it? Special attention was paid to discussions about the musical institutions and societies of Karlovac, which are divided into several thematic groups: 1) the First Croatian Singing Society »Zora« and the Merchant’s Tamburitz a Society »Hrvatska«; 2) the Music school in Karlovac; 3) the issue of Town Music and the att itude towards military music.
