Po smrti skladatelja Janeza Matičiča (1926–2022) je del njegove zapuščine ostal tudi v njegovem pariškem stanovanju. Ta zapuščina zaobsega skladateljeve dokumente, korespondenco, arhiv fotografij, ...fonoteko, notni material in nekaj osebnih ter tehničnih predmetov. Najzanimivejši del gotovo predstavlja korespondenca, v kateri prevladujejo pisma, ki so jih skladatelju pisali člani družine, nato pa tudi intimni prijatelji in glasbeniški sopotniki. Iz teh pisem je bilo mogoče izluščiti nekatere nove podrobnosti o skladateljevem pariškem vsakdanu in tudi nekaj novih razlogov, zakaj je skladatelj namesto treh mesecev v Parizu ostal nekaj desetletij. Spoznanja o skladateljevi osebnosti je bilo mogoče povezati z nekateri njegovimi osrednjimi estetskimi in kompozicijsko-tehničnimi značilnostmi.
After the Second World War, Slovenia became a part of socialist Yugoslavia, which, following the example of the Soviet Union, scrutinised art from an ideological perspective. Previous studies of the ...influence of the new social system on Slovenian music have not discovered any distinct and direct political interventions in musical life, so it is reasonable to enquire whether such influences can be identified in the works of Slovenian composers from the first decade after the end of the Second World War. It turns out that demands and solutions were rather ambivalent and arbitrary; some composers, particularly those who continued traditional musical expression, did not adapt their aesthetic principles, while a change in style is observed especially in those composers who had endorsed the new music before the war.
Med slovenskimi operami 19. stoletja se zdi še najbližje konceptu nacionalne opere Gorenjski slavček Antona Foersterja. Članek se ukvarja s postopno genezo dela: od začetne operetne variante ...do končne prekomponirane opere. V tej luči interpretira fragmentarno ohranjeno partituro iz glasbene zbirke ljubljanskega NUK-a kot pomemben vmesni korak, kar pomeni, da je Foerster o operni varianti razmišljal že dve desetletji prej, kot smo mislil do sedaj.
In the works of all B. Kutavičius, L. Lebič and V. Tormis, one can find a pronounced inclination towards the ritual, the use of folk instruments, the idea of the circulation of life, and some sort of ...simulation of folk music of unidentifiable prehistoric times. These parallels raise the questions about the causes for such similarities which are connected to the socio-political situations of countries in which the composers lived and created. Therefore, it is not possible to disconnect the stylistic changes of the seventies and eighties from the desire for political and ideological liberation. All three composers responded to those trends with similar artistic solutions: they searched for mystical and sacral music of prehistoric tribes which functioned as trigger for the awakening of strong national feelings.
Drugo simfonijo (1967) hrvaškega skladatelja Petra Bergama je potrebno analizirati v kontekstu zagrebškega Bienala, torej v kontekstu prevlade modernizma, ki ga je skladatelj razumel kot slepo ulico. ...Simfonija je zasnovana kot niz citatov in aluzij, ki lahko sprožajo široko polje asociacije, povezanih z logiko toka glasbene zgodovine. Takšni postopki so podobni postmodernističnim tehnikam, zato je mogoče skladbo Bergama razumeti kot proto-postmoderno delo.
Viewed from a historical perspective, the twentieth century appears to have largely broken with the fundamental traits that marked the nineteenth century. In some respects, however, certain specific ...characteristics were enhanced. This is particularly true of the emphasised subjectivism and the drive to innovate. Both of these premises arise from the Romantic desire for the characteristic, for that which is new each time and subjectively marked.
