The Evolution of the Idea of 'National' as a Multi-Level Construct within 19th-Century Croatian Musical Culture

The idea of „national“ in Croatian 19th-century music culture shows evolutionary tendencies which can be articulated in four phases. It started in 1800-1830 period as a construct leading towards higher general musical standards, displaying universality above particularity as its ideal. It continued in the period 1830-1850 with pragmatic treatment of music as incidental to poetry, supporting non-musical, mostly political issues, where universality equaled particularity. It achieved in the period 1850-1870 the status of a substantial part in the scholarly re-construction of national history, still equaling universality with particularity. Finally, as a concept of ethnic or national art music, it reached in the period 1870-1916 a status of general interest in national cultural life and education, displaying particularity above universality.
