Sažetak
The simplest definition of musicology – “the scholarly study of music” – already contains two opposite terms that gave musicology its uniqueness on the one hand, but also created the possibility of dispute on the other. Those terms are “scholarly” and “music”, the first one implying a scientific, the second one an artistic aspect. The fact that this discipline is dealing with an art form has also left its mark on the teaching activities at the Department of Musicology in Zagreb. At one point the possibility of the Department’s exclusion from the Academy and a transfer to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences was entertained, but this never materialised in spite of continued dissatisfaction. This part of the panel will focus on a historical outline of the development of teaching at the Department. Primarily based on archival records, this paper will demonstrate the changes that occurred in the Department's curriculum from its establishment to the present time. Musicological courses were taught in Zagreb even before the Academy of Music was institutionalised, in the late 19th century at the Academy’s predecessor, the Croatian Music Institute. In this initial period musicological teaching encompassed merely two courses – the history of music and the aesthetics of music. Meanwhile, in the previous century, and especially in the last 50 years, the spectrum of musicological teaching activities increased significantly. However, in spite of this inner growth of musicology, in the overall academic context in Croatia musicology is still considered not only a “small”, but also an “uncommon” discipline.
