The collection of phonograph cylinders used by the Slovak ethnographer Karol Anton Medvecký (1875 – 1937) documents the first sound recordings of traditional music made on the territory of Slovakia. Content reconstruction has been performed on this collection, providing information about the documented repertoire and clarifying the contemporary context in which the recordings were undertaken. Medvecký carried out sound recordings of folk music using a phonograph, especially in the places where he was employed. Having done this in the villages of Detva (1901) and Veľké Pole (1902 – 1903), in the course of 1903 he realized a sound documentation of Slovak folk singing in the village of Beňuša in the Horehronie region. Although the physical decay of the recordings has gone so far as to make a restoration of their sound impossible, preserved historical sources and comparative material have enabled a hypothetical reconstruction of the documented repertoire to the extent of eight songs. This repertoire refers to the genres of love songs, military songs, humorous songs and narrative songs.

The first phonograph recordings of Slovak folk songs were carried out by the ethnographer Karol Anton Medvecký (1875–1937) in 1901 in the village of Detva in Central Slovakia. After this first phonograph session, he recorded songs in the German enclave in Central Slovakia, in the village of Veľké Pole. Today, the technical reconstruction of these recordings is unrealistic due to their physical and biological degradation. Nevertheless, with the help of contemporaneous sources, we managed to reconstruct the time of origin of the recordings, their number, and contents. Medvecký carried out the sound recordings in Veľké Pole with a phonograph in 1902–1903. They consisted of 17 songs in German and Slovak, rendered by a German female inhabitant of this village. Although physical documents only survived in a form of two cylinders, the reconstruction of the song repertoire led to the presumption that there were more, minimum three to four cylinders. The musical analysis of the published transcriptions from 1904 revealed that the songs in German conserved the earlier styles of Slovak folk singing.
