This is a new narration of the Slovenian 19th-century piano music, focusing especially on waltz. The discussion of piano composition in their cultural and historical context reveals an interdependent relationship between the creative, performing and semantic aspects of a work of art, whereas the analysis of the musical works themselves discloses connections to the concept of popular music as defined by K. Blaukopf.

The article is a hitherto most complete and concise outline of music and musical life in Slovenia during the 17th century. It discusses musical prints and manuscripts from the time of the Prince-Bishop of Ljubljana Tomaž Hren, the composers active during the period in question, the musical collection from the Cathedral of Koper / Capodistria, and the activities of the Academia Philharmonicorum Labacensium. The deficiencies in the extant knowledge are clearly recognised; they are to be removed by the appropriate future research.

The article tackles the problem of style in the musical output of U. Krek. The seeming discrepancy between the high aesthetic value of his works and their indifference towards inovation has been solved sometimes by the designation »the classic of the Slovenian 20th-century music«, which term, however, does not refer to the style but to the reception. In the article, the question of style is solved in an original way by analysis of four composer's scores for string instruments.

This is a collection of articles discussing a number of new, hitherto not considered aspects of the Slovenian music of the 20th century. In the foreground there are questions of social mechanisms that support various types of music, and, connected to these issues, there follows the discussion of the continuity and discontinuity, the response of the media, the evaluation of musical works, and the discussion of the composers' subjective poetics. The monograph is an important contribution to the evaluation of the Slovenian music of the 20th century.

The article tries to demonstrate a connection between Trubar's Cerkovna ordninga ('church order') and the repertoire of the Slovenian 16th century protestant hymnals. The Cerkovna ordninga provides an outline of the services to be observed by the Slovene reformed community, and the descriptions also envisage singing of Slovene hymns. The categories of the hymns mentioned in the church order correspond with the types of the hymns to be found in the Slovene Protestant hymnals, including that of Dalmatin from 1584.
