Excerpt from A Croatian Composer
It is not for me to determine how far the subject will be of interest to English readers. We have somewhat forgotten Haydn: we do not always attach great importance to abstract problems. But I venture to think that the practical issue is not insignificant, and that in any case the question of histori cal truth is one which demands some con sideration and regard. There is little need to say that Iam myself convinced of the point which I have endeavoured to make if the facts have been misinterpreted,at least the endeavour may invite discussion.

The materials for this essay have been almost entirely gathered from two works by Dr. Frantiek S. Kuhz6, the one his collection of South-S lavonic Folksongs, the other a pamphlet upon Joseph Haydn. I ndeed, so greatly am I indebted to them that the essay would not have been written had it been possible to present them to the reader more directly. All that has been added is a certain re-arrangement of the data, a certain amount of commentary and exposition, and a few supplementary facts which happen to have come within my reach. I should state that during a recent visit to Croatia, I saw Dr. Ku.ha6, who most kindly gave me full permission to make use of his results, and augmented the gift with much valuable information.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between renowned composer Joseph Haydn and his Croatian heritage. The author presents compelling evidence to challenge the long-held belief that Haydn was German, arguing instead that he was a member of the Croatian community in Austria. By examining Haydn's family history, analyzing his music, and studying the historical context, the book reveals the profound influence of Croatian folk melodies and cultural traditions on Haydn's compositions. It sheds new light on the composer's creative process, showing how he drew inspiration from the vibrant musical landscape of his homeland. This groundbreaking work not only repositions Haydn within the context of Croatian history but also underscores the power of national identity in shaping artistic expression, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated figures in the Western musical canon.
