Franjo Ksaver Kuhač and the Network of His Contacts in the Project „Die Österreichisch-Ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild (1886-1902)“

Abstract

The Croatian musicologist Franjo Ksaver Kuhač (1834–1911) was engaged to collaborate in the large Austrian state project entitled Die Österreichisch-Ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild (1886–1902), where in the volume Dalmatien (1892) he published his text Die Musik, and in the volume Croatien und Slavonien (1902) the text Volksmusik. The preserved correspondence and other documentation dealing with this issue testify to the network of contacts among acting personalities (J. v. Weilen, E. Hanslick, I. Kršnjavi, V. Bukovac etc.) and their mutual interactive relations.
