The dance phenomenon was one of the sources of inspiration for piano composers active in Slovakia in the second half of the 19th century. The dance forms were composed with both utilitarian and aesthetic function, or there could be a fluent transition between those two poles. The dance genre was associated with salon music and with the employment of technical virtuosity. Among the favourite dances in society, the quadrille, mazurka, czardas, waltz and polka were particularly loved. The so-called Slovak quadrille was a speciality composed especially in the 1850s – 1870s, using Slovak folk songs. The dance genre evoked a response from such composers as Jozef Rizner, Ján Egry, Emil Kovárcz, Leopold Dušinský, Maximilián Hudec, Ján Levoslav Bella, Štefan Fajnor, Ignác Boldiš, and many others. The paper examines the range of representation of individual dance forms and their musical style characterisation, as well as the relationship between functionality and autonomy in this work.

The most important works by Jozef Kresánek (1913 – 1986) include the scholarly trilogy Základy hudobného myslenia (Fundamentals of musical thinking) (1977), Tonalita (Tonality) (1982) and Tektonika (Tectonics) (1994). This sequence gives proof of the lifelong effort he devoted to music theory as a musicological discipline, which enabled him to explore, within the category of musical thinking, the developmental laws of European art music in all their complexity. Jozef Kresánek began as a music historian, and in his scholarly studies, monographs, surveys and musical editions he devoted himself especially to the problems of the modern history of Slovak music from the 18th to the 20th century. In terms of methodology, he applied a synthesis of the music-historical and music-theoretical approaches. This paper makes a close analysis of the lasting contribution, as well as the period residues, in the conception of two of his works: Dejiny hudby (History of music) (1942) and Vznik národnej hudby v 19. storočí (Birth of the national music in the 19th century).

The composer Ján Levoslav Bella (1843 – 1936) maintained close contacts with personalities of Czech musical culture, especially in the years 1868 – 1881 and 1921 – 1936. Tanks to this he took a more intensive interest in Czech literature, which ultimately led to his taking a number of Czech literary models to set to music. The following works are extant: choirs to words by František Sušil (St. Cyril’s Deathbed Prayer) and Adolf Heyduk (Little White Shirt, I’m a Great Lady!), songs for the voice and piano Good Night and To the Singers to words by Eliška Krásnohorská, the opera fragment Jaroslav and Laura according to the verse drama by Václav Pok Poděbradský, and a song for higher bass and orchestra Credo to words by Jaroslav Martinec. The study is centred on analysis of individual works, taking into account the circumstances of their emergence and reception.

This analysis of selected works on ballad poetry by Ján Levoslav Bella (1843 – 1936) and Tadeáš Salva (1937 – 1995) addresses structural-formal aspects, the relationship of texts and music, semantics, and musical symbolism. J. L. Bella composed three ballad songs for vocals and piano: Sehnsucht (ca. 1905) in German, Románc (ca. 1905) in Hungarian and Gajdoš Filúz (Filúz the Bagpiper, 1927) in Slovak. They are distinguished by a highly composed form, integrity of the vocal and instrumental components, and rich musical symbolism. T. Salva created the first Slovak television opera Margita a Besná (Margita and the Fury) for soprano, contralto, sixteen-voice mixed choir and a silent dancer (1971), on the model of a ballad by J. Botto. He worked freely with the musically arranged text, in the typical manner of literary adaptations. Salva used the technique of limited aleatory, sound blocks, and the timbral capacities of the human voice. The differentiated compositional approaches of both authors stem from their individual musical poetics, the different genre form, and the change of music-stylistic paradigm.

In the light of gender studies, this paper examines how female singers and composers exercised their professions, and their social and artistic status, in the Bratislava City Theatre during the years 1886 – 1920. The source base is a study of the daily newspapers Preßburger Zeitung and Westungarischer Grenzbote. From what the theatre critics wrote, it is concluded that both men and women could exercise the profession of singer with comparable success, with decisive criterion for evaluation being the singer’s performance and his/her creation of the theatrical role. A more detailed description is given of the guest performances of the singers Lujza Blaha (1850 – 1926) and Irma de Spányi (1861 – 1932). There were long-lasting prejudices against women composers. The positive reception of the premiere of the now lost opera Tamaro, by the Bratislava composer Countess Alexandrine Esterházy-Rossi, in the Bratislava Theatre (1907), is presented in the wider context of female musical creativity and contemporary domestic opera production, and also as a proof of the gradual transformation of older conservative views.
