The Role of Conservatories
in the Process of the Professionalisation
and Specialisation of Musical Activity
Jernej Weiss
University of Ljubljana / University of Maribor
The purpose of this monograph is to reflect on the conceptual, organisa-
tional and substantive aspects of music education in Central Europe and
among the southern Slavs in the light of general and ethnically specific
trends in musical development after 1918, with a particular focus on the
circulation of knowledge and institutions providing public music educa-
tion. The primary focus of research interest in this fourth monograph in
the Studia musicologica Labacensia collection, entitled The conservatories:
professionalisation and specialisation of musical activity: On the centenary
of the founding of the Ljubljana Conservatory and the 80th anniversary of
the Music Academy in Ljubljana, is the activity of the Conservatory in Lju-
bljana, founded in 1919, and its successor the Music Academy, founded two
decades later, and of similar musical institutions in Europe before and be-
tween the two world wars.
The papers in the monograph are divided into three thematic groups.
The first group (The functioning of music conservatories in Europe before
and between the two world wars) looks at some important milestones in the
development of conservatories before and after the First World War, with
a primary focus on the development of higher music education in the light
of the societal changes that took place in the interwar period. It also con-
siders degrees of institutionalisation and state control and examines peda-
gogical approaches and the concert repertoire of conservatory productions.
