Luisa Antoni
Trieste, Gorizia and Istria, a musical interweaving
In this article the author presents a comprehensive picture of musical edu-
cation in the Primorska region, which includes Gorizia, Trieste, the Istrian
coastal towns (Koper, Piran and Portorož) and Pazin. Although there was
no public music school in these towns, music was part of the curriculum
of grammar schools and teacher training colleges. The article then discuss-
es private music schools. It is shown that the main wealth of education was
offered in Trieste, where there was a clearly expressed need for a state con-
servatory. At the beginning of the 20th century as many as three public-
ly recognised music schools were established in Trieste, two of which were
initiated by musicians who had previously lived in Koper (Roberto Catol-
la and Filippo Manara). The acclaimed musicians and educators includ-
ed ­Avgust (Augusto) Jankovich, without doubt the best violinist of Trieste
in the early decades of the 20th century, who was recognised by numerous
composers including Riccardo Zandonai and Richard Strauss. He was also
one of the first teachers at the Trieste Conservatory. The Trieste Conserva-
tory, which is today named after Giuseppe Tartini and was created through
the merger of previously separate schools, only acquired its final status un-
der the Allied administration in 1953. After a lapse of a few years, the Slavic
element in Trieste also started sensing the need for a public music institu-
tion, but this was prevented by growing Fascist pressure.

The conservatory of the Croatian Music Institute in Zagreb
and the conservatory of the Glasbena Matica in Ljubljana
– a comparison
Music societies in Zagreb and Ljubljana, the Croatian Music Institute
­(Hrvatski glazbeni zavod, HGZ) and Glasbena Matica, established their
conservatories at approximately same time – in Zagreb in 1916, and in Lju-
bljana in 1919. They grew out of music schools and had for decades similar
managers – Vjekoslav Klaić (1849–1928), who carried out the reformation of
the Zagreb music school, and Fran Gerbič (1840–1917).
