During the period 1940 – 1943 Jozef Kresánek worked as an official of the Musical Section of Matica slovenská in Martin. Here he had the opportunity to make acquaintance, among other sources, with the extensive manuscript collection of Slovak folk songs by Karol Plicka. Kresánek, when processing this collection for the first time, gained knowledge which he afterwards put to use in his synthetic work Slovenská ľudová pieseň zo stanoviska hudobného (Slovak folk song from the musical standpoint) (1951, 21997). Here he used Plicka’s manuscript records of Slovak folk songs to illustrate individual styles in Slovak folk singing. Apart from adopting selected extracts, Kresánek relies in this work on the various studies by Plicka, establishing continuity and simultaneously revaluating them in the light of his own knowledge.
The literary remains of Karol Plicka (1894 - 1987) have been lodged since the second half of the 1980s in the Slovak National Museum in Martin. The paper is devoted to the history and the current state of the remains, describes the manner of their processing and identifies their content. It is centrally concerned with providing a picture of the manuscript notebook records of Slovak folk songs, which form the core of Plicka's literary remains.
The manuscript collection of Karol Plicka (1894 – 1987) is one of the most important historical sources of the Slovak folk songs from the first half of the 19th century. Based on the manuscript records from the village Lazy pod Makytou (in Trenčín region) Plicka’s method of field work and mode of recording songs (melodic and textual rough copy, melodic fair copy) are analysed. Source criticism of his records not only became the starting point for reconstruction of the song repertoire collected in this village but also laid the basis for editing Plicka’s records of the musical component of the songs.
Karol Plicka (1894–1987) was one of the 20th century Czech and Moravian collectors who worked in Slovakia during the interwar period, making a fundamental contribution to developing the concept of the folk song, as applied in collecting practice within Slovakia. By probing the records of Slovak folk songs from Dohňany village (Trenčín region), the study gives a close-up view of Plicka’s collecting method (making transcriptions directly in the field) and technique of recording (melodic and textual rough copy, fair copy). Plicka’s records from Dohňany village were subjected to a source critique, on the basis of which the number of song units was established, i.e. the overall extent of the song repertoire documented in this village (72 songs). The song records were analysed not only in terms of the technique of entry-making but also of the genre structure and musical-stylistic characterisation of the repertoire recorded.
