The article deals with little researched subject from the history of Czech music in the 20th century - public music life at the time of the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939-1945). Based on research in Czech music journals of the time, which are listed in the article, it informs on important concerts and theatre performances, music festivals and festivities, taking place in Prague and other places in the Protectorate territory. It also follows the ways in which the press wrote about period music life, and tries - even if only in a preliminary way - to answer a difficult question - how much these activities corresponded with the official cultural politics of the Protectorate regime, and on the other hand, to what extent they manifested patriotic feelings and resistance against the enemy occupying power.

When comparing the fate of Bohuslav Martinů to that of his pupil Jan Novák, interesting parallels can be found, not only in their work (with which this article does not deal), but also in their lives. Both composers met in 1947 in the U.S.A., and, for half a year, they worked together in New York. Novák’s 1950s compositions were strongly influenced by Martinů’s style. At the same time, both of them suffered the disgrace of the Czechoslovak cultural politics and its executors. Novák venerated Martinů as his model up to the end of his life, even if during the 1960s he reverted from the neo-classical style to the principles of New music, dodecaphony and serialism. As performers, Jan Novák and his wife Eliška played an important role in creating a positive picture of Martinů, and promoting his works in Czechoslovakia during the difficult time of the early 1950s. An outcome of his free attitudes, which put Novák in permanent opposition with the ruling regime, was, in the same way as with Martinů, a life-long emigration in free Western Europe. Today, we have to secure for his music a dignified position in our violated music history as well as on our concert stages.
