Heuristic research thus far conducted on the manuscript collection of Karol Plicka (1894–1987) has focused on the region of central Považie in the north-west of Slovakia. Reconstruction of the song repertoire has shown that this collector documented almost 950 songs in total, in 24 localities of this region. The article completes the identification of the regional song corpus with a treatment of the manuscript and published records from the locality of Vieska-Bezdedov (today part of the town of Púchov). Plicka conducted field work in this locality at the inception of his activity in Slovakia. From Plicka’s written records from this locality, we have been able to identify 79 songs and 17 singers, from all generational strata. Almost half of the song records contain multipart singing in group performance (solo – tutti), as one of the style features of regional musical culture. The analysis of this song repertoire has confirmed that Plicka documented traditional folk singing across the entire span of the song genres.
