Sažetak
Since its beginnings in the 19th century, the writing of music history in Croatia has been influenced by the then nascent notion of national culture and it remained so up to today. Although it can be perceived in ‘general music history’ written in the Croatian language as well, this rings especially true in the history of music produced on the territory of the modern-day Republic of Croatia, mainly because music historians considered it important to contribute to a sense of continuity in the construction of a Croatian or (South) Slavic identity in music. An important part of these efforts was the ‘Croatization’ of ‘foreign’ elements in pre-19th century Croatian musical culture and their assimilation into a more widely conceived Croatian culture. After an overview of tendencies in the writing of general histories of music of the 17th and 18th centuries in music historiography written in the Croatian language, some examples from the writings of musicologists on music in current-day Croatia in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries will be examined. For most of this period South Croatia was under a strong Italian political and cultural influence, contributing to a complex web of interrelationships in which music migration in both directions played an important part. The more pronounced subsumption of cultural processes unfolding in North Croatia in the 17th and especially 18th century into Central European traditions presented new challenges to ‘national’ music history. The primary level of assimilation consisted of providing names appearing in the primary sources originally in Latin, Italian or German with Croatian variants, but it also took other forms. The intercultural processes at stake continue to pose challenges to Croatian music historiography as a whole.
