Significance for science
The research of 18th-century music didactics is a completely new aspect of musicological research in Slovenia. It concentrates on a detailed examination and comparative analysis of concrete printed and manuscript music manuals preserved now in Slovenia and intended for practical use. The materials were analysed and contextualized in a wider Central-European frame. The employed research methods met modern criticism, or the so-called “deconstruction” of traditional historical interpretations of the 18th-century music (also in a wider prospect) which already proved to be one of the foremost trends in European and American musicology giving stress on cross-examination over the methodological, structural, ideological etc. problems in writing music history. Such a methodology, in addition the analysis music materials themselves, brings completely new research results that are also of interest to wider European musicological studies. Such are, for example, findings on interactions among musicians, those responsible for musical works, and the musical works themselves, all within the frame of the Central-European regions. The results of the musicological research obtained by means of relevant modern methods of comparative multi-layer analysis, enables new interpretations of the musical culture in Slovenia as well as re-evaluation of the Slovenian contribution within the European cultural context.
Significance for the country
The project research is significant especially for its genuine Slovenian contribution to a wider phenomenon of the 18th-century Central-European praxis of composing keyboard gallantries with an explicit didactic meaning. The later makes such compositions most welcome also in a contemporary music didactics. The printed edition of 73 keyboard compositions from the second part of the manuscript manual Noten-Buch darinnen die Fundamenta zu dem CLAVIER oder Orgel enthalten in a form of a practical edition titled 18th-Century Keyboard Compositions from Novo mesto and edited by Radovan Škrjanc (Ljubljana, 2012) is of special importance as it will promote and instruct on the previously unknown earlier national music heritage a wide circle of piano teachers and pupils at music schools. The published music pieces will once again serve for their original didactic purpose. The critical edition of the entire manuscript with five additional chapters will on the other hand serve as an effective higher-educational tool for instruction in theory and performing practice of the 18th-century general bass. Online editions of both 18th-century manuals from the 18th-century, Fundamenta zu dem CLAVIER oder Orgel (R. Škrjanc, Keyboard Manual for Beginners) and Compendium cantus chorali (J. Snoj, Plainchant Compendium), available within the online series Slovenian Music Heritage (http://ezb.ijs.si/sgd), ensures the widest availability of the achievements of the project research (the editions include additional visual and multimedia illustrations), and is a first class means of preservation of the rich national music heritage thus strengthening the national identity and awareness of perhaps the most original contribution of the Slovenian cultural idioms to a wider European tradition of music education. The project is therefore of key importance for the preservation, revitalisation and general comprehension of the national cultural heritage.
