About article:
The most important works of Jozef Kresánek (1913 – 1986) include the scholarly trilogy Základy
hudobného myslenia [Fundamentals of Musical Tinking] (1977), Tonalita [Tonality] (1982)
and Tektonika [Tectonics] (1994). This sequence gives proof of the lifelong effort he devoted to
music theory as a musicological discipline, which enabled him to explore, within the category
of musical thinking, the developmental laws of European art music in all their complexity. Jozef
Kresánek began as a music historian, and in his scholarly studies, monographs, surveys and
musical editions he devoted himself especially to the problems of the modern history of Slovak
music from the 18th to the 20th century. In terms of methodology, he applied a synthesis of the
musico-historical and musico-theoretical approaches. This paper makes a close analysis of the
lasting contribution, as well as the period residues, in the conception of two of his works: Dejiny
hudby [History of Music] (1942) and Vznik národnej hudby v 19. storočí [Te Birth of National
Music in the 19th Century], in: Dejiny slovenskej hudby [History of Slovak Music] (1957).
