Synopsis

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
