Abstracts

EN

The most extensive collection of folk music recordings in Slovakia is situated at the Institute of Musicology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, in the Department for Ethnomusicology. Its core consists of a historical collection of tape recordings from the second half of the twentieth century, acquired from all regions of Slovakia and from Slovak enclaves abroad. Today, it is a closed corpus comprising over three thousand five hundred tapes. For the most part, the sound recordings were made by the staff of the institute, who performed this documentation work as part of its long-term research projects. In terms of origin, this internal collection includes two categories of recordings: originals and copies. Initially, the Sound Recordings Collection of Folk Music served scholarly purposes and was used by the staff of the institute and their collaborators. Gradually, the collection has gained historical value, and interest in it has recently increased not only among scholars but also among the general public.
