We know relatively little about the perception of contemporary historical landscape by serfs. From the 18th century we have the conscriptions from the age of Maria Terezia where is, inter alia, information about local historical landscape. Data for the conscriptions were reported by the serfs (reeves and jurats), so we can see in it their perception of the landscape, too. The author analyses information about different landscape components in this paper, for example selected settlements of the Zvolen County. From the perspective of historic-geographical research, data of historical land use (area of arable land, meadows, pasture lands, vineyards), availability of firewood and building wood or quality of roads have special notice value. The mentions of local mills, pubs or mine and metallurgical industry are interesting for historical topography. Information about damages caused by torrential rain, floods or severe winter and a lot of snow is worth as well. Stated information can be founded mainly in the 4th point of questionnaires made for Teresian register needs.

This study deals with the music performed and musicians present during Maria Teresia’s prolonged stay in Pressburg in 1741 in conjunction with her coronation as King of Hungary. The role that music and ceremony played during this pivotal junction in the history of the Habsburg monarchy are considered within the context of the War of the Austrian Succession and are contrasted with other coronations which took place in Pressburg, Prague and Frankfurt (predominantly in the 18th century). This article employs a diverse range of the manuscript and printed sources found in the Viennese Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv that provide an insight into matters of imperial court policy, ceremony and finance. Detailed descriptions of coronation ceremonies, with a particular focus on the number and placement of musicians, are provided and practicalities such as travel and accommodation are touched upon. The royal party’s activities – in particular church services and celebrations involving music – in the Viennese “suburb” are also outlined in detail in the form of a calendar of events. In addition, numerous transcriptions of documents pertaining to music and ceremony are provided.
