Abstracts

Ivan Krasko (1876 – 1958), own name Ján Botto, is regarded as the leading figure of literary modernism in Slovakia. His poems have been set to music by several Slovak composers, with most of these adapted poems being taken from Krasko’s best-known collection, Nox et solitudo (1909). Tis work was drawn upon by composers from different 20th century generations, ranging from the older generation of composers, through the adherents of musical modernism, to the representatives of New Music. The aim of the paper is to present Krasko’s poetry in works for vocals and piano by Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský (1881 – 1958), Eugen Suchoň (1908 – 1993) and Tadeáš Salva (1937 – 1995), highlighting the genesis of the works studied, their status in the context of these composers’ work, and their artistic significance, using semantic-structural analysis.
