DAVORIN JENKO I KULTURNI ŽIVOT SLOVENACA I SRBA U DRUGOJ POLOVINI XIX VEKA
No full textDavorin Jenko was a choirmaster, conductor, musical tutor as well as, for almost half a century, a composer. Therefore, his life should be evaluated as marked by pedagogical and cultural-artistic work, and a fight for the national revival of Slovenes and Serbs within the Pan-Slavic movement. Ethnic relations in the romantic and post-romantic era were extremely tense. At the same time, that was an exceedingly important time for the Slovenes and the Serbs, a time that brought about cultural renaissance and development. In the late 19th century Jenko became one of the first representatives of the Romantic Era of Slovenian and late Serbian music. Despite his exceptional role in this cultural renaissance, during his lifetime he hasn’t received a proper place or honors in Slovenia. It was the Serbs who honored Jenko with full membership in the Serbian Royal Academy.Davorin Jenko je bio horovođa, dirigent, muzički pedagog i gotovo pola veka bavio se komponovanjem. Zbog toga je njegov život u ovom radu analiziran kroz nekoliko aspekata. On je obeležen pedagoškim i kulturno-umetničkim radom kao i borbom za nacionalni preporod Slovenaca i Srba u okviru sveslovenskog pokreta. Nacionalni odnosi u romantičarskom i poznoromantičarskom periodu bili su veoma napeti. Istovremeno, to je kako za Slovence tako i za Srbe bio veoma značajan period tokom kojeg su doživeli kulturni preporod i razvoj. Krajem XIX veka Jenko je postao jedan od prvih predstavnika romantizma u slovenačkoj, a kasnije i srpskoj muzici. Uprkos njegovoj izuzetnoj ulozi u kulturnom preporodu, Jenko za vreme svog života u Sloveniji nije dobio adekvatano priznanje. Za razliku od Slovenije, Jenku je u Srbiji ukazana čast članstvom u Srpskoj kraljevskoj akademiji

The piano music by Čestmír Gregor
No full textIn my thesis, I introduce a complete list of piano works by Cestmír Gregor, a contemporary Czech composer of modern classical music. 1 have tried to define his compositional techniques and sources of inspiration by analysing the individual pieces of music. I have found that the major features of the author's highly unique style are polyphonic thinking, the development of motives from small nuclei, expressive themes, plastic tunes, inventive work with rhythm, and the absence of a tonal centre which he compensates for by distinctive melodies . The author finds his inspiration in folklore, especially Moravian (Leoš Janácek), the works of Czech interwar avantgarde (Pavel Borkovec) and in jazz (Jaroslav Ježek). His music reflects the emotional states of a man living in the twenty-first century whose life style is predominantly determined by an urban environment. Gregor does not use any of the Musica Nova theories, instead he founded his own music language. The basis for his compositions is communicative music, which follows the patterns of human perceptive psychology. Gregor's concertant compositions are typical for a new instrument stylization and nontraditional attitudes towards instrument virtuosity (playing with a palm, elbow; an unconventional fingering). His piano sonatas and concerts enable the..

No full textIn this Master disertation, the author talks about the life and career of a legendary virtuoso cellist Gregor Piatigorsky.

Davorin Jenko between Slovenian and Serbian Music. Case Study on Slavonic Music Ideas Migations at the turn of the 20th century
No full textSome might estimate that my decision to write a paper on the renowned composer and conductor Davorin Jenko (1835–1914), from the point of view of musical migrations as the main topic of the Symposium, held in Ljubljana, may be hasty, or, at best – a brave decision. It is well known that Ljubljana and Slovenia are considered a kind of epicentre for studying Jenko’s life and creative work: after the fundamental research and monographs by the doyen of Slovenian musicology Dragotin Cvetko, valuable contributions in recent times have been achieved in works by colleagues Nataša Cigoj-Krstulović, Gregor Jenuš and Franc Križnar, Henrik Neubauer, Jernej Weiss – to mention just a few of the most notable results
Gregor Samsa’s Self Alienation in Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis: Lacanian Psychoanalysis
No full textThis research is focused on Jacques Lacan\u27s psychoanalytic theory, which is described in the main character in Franz Kafka\u27s novel The Metamorphosis. Gregor Samsa is the main character of The Metamorphosis. Gregor was a traveling salesman who was the Samsa family\u27s sole son and earner. He mysteriously transforms into a massive bug, causing him to be estranged from his family. The author finds out why Gregor’s family members do not care about him and can\u27t perceive him as a complicated human being with his own needs. As a result, Gregor has been estranged from his family and himself. The author argues that Gregor has another alienation from his physical reality after the transformation. His family views him as a terrifying, unpleasant monster, as seen by their fear of his existence and their decision to get rid of him. Gregor, who suffers from humiliation, views himself in the same light. He and his family unwittingly reject Gregor\u27s potential as an individual, making him feel alienated. This research aims to identify how Gregor\u27s conditions make him feel alienated and the connection between his identity crisis and alienation, as depicted in The Metamorphosis. Although humans are free human beings, society contributes to the perspective of self-identity and the decision of their own goals
