Piesne z Lazov pod Makytou v zápisoch Karola Plicku
Songs from the Village of Lazy pod Makytou in Karol Plicka’s Transcriptions

Summary/Abstract: The manuscript collection of Karol Plicka (1894 – 1987) is one of the most important historical sources for Slovak folk songs from the first half of the 20th century. Based on manuscript records from the village of Lazy pod Makytou (in the 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.
