Concentration of the written and pictorial sources on the Reutter family of Banská Štiavnica forms the material part of the study, which aims not only at critical analysis, but also at an effort to reconstruct the culture and experience of a representative Central European individual in the late 16th and first half of the 17th centuries. The text also attempts to grasp the methodological possibilities for interpreting historical sources reflecting the cultural experience of the urban Lutheran elites in the mining towns of central Slovakia, especially with regard for models of patronage, and not only in the field of fine art and craft, but also of early modern education and literature. The study also tries to answer the question of whether the historiography of art offers a viable and open way to interpret the form and meaning of contemporary culture for a specific person from a particular social group, if we work with textual sources or only with a limited sample of surviving works coming mainly from artistic crafts rather than high art.

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.

The influence of commercialization via mass media, as well as the contact between two ethnic groups, has resulted in an ongoing modification of the dance repertoire and dance expressions of Romani and non-Romani village communities in the Horehronie region (Central Slovakia). The aim of the study is an ethno-choreographically analysis of changes in dance praxis of women during the second half of the 20th century until present in the village Telgárt. The author places a strong focus on formal and structural analysis of the dance called the „circle“ which plays a crucial role in the dance repertoire of women from both ethnic communities. The analysis and synthesis of „dance style“ as a syncretic union of its current and archaic forms is also a part of the study.
