Težnje i ostvarenja organologije u Hrvatskoj do 1941 godine
Tendencies and Realizations of Organology in Croatia Before the Year 1941

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt at presenting the tendencies in the development of organology as a special branch of ethnomusicology dealing with music instruments. The author remarks that in Croatia, after the synthetic work of F. Kuhač, most works were of narrower scope and ethnographic or ethnological orientation, although the musicological approach became ever more expressed. The balance of these approaches and a high scientific standard was best achieved by B. Sirota in his mature works. Synthetic analysis at a higher scientific and methodological level still remains a challenge and unrealized aspiration of Croatian organology. Its development is facilitated by the perfection of collection methods and data recording techniques.
