Davorin Jenko (1835–1914) in Scholarly Research
and Cultural Remembrance
Some might estimate that my decision to write a paper on the renowned
composer and conductor Davorin Jenko (1835–1914), from the point of view
of musical migrations as the main topic of the Symposium, held in Ljublja-
na, may be hasty, or, at best – a brave decision. It is well known that Ljublja-
na and Slovenia are considered a kind of epicentre for studying Jenko’s life
and creative work: after the fundamental research and monographs by the
doyen of Slovenian musicology Dragotin Cvetko,1 valuable contributions in
recent times have been achieved in works by colleagues Nataša Cigoj-Krstu-
lović, Gregor Jenuš and Franc Križnar, Henrik Neubauer, Jernej Weiss – to
mention just a few of the most notable results. 2
