Keywords: the Cieszyn land; the profiles of Evangelical musicians; the music-related figures of Zaolzie
Summary/Abstract: The article was written to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the reformation of the Church by Martin Luther in Wittenberg. It presents selected profiles of Evangelical musicians in Zaolzie. Even though the subject matter of the present overview focuses on the personages which were distinguished, it does not venture to present a complete image of the music life of Zaolzie at all, which is deeply rooted in the history and the tradition of the entire Śląsk Cieszyński. This premise is also reflected by the election of memoirs, devoted to some and not all musical figures of Zaolzie, even though they would merit attention as well. In this context musicians and songsters, soloists, teachers of music, composers or the representatives of musical folklore, who occupy a prominent place of distinction among the number of significant figures of the Cieszyn land.
