konservator iji: profesionalizacija in specializacija glasbenega dela
Concerts and productions by established artists of the institution were ac-
claimed in Romanian artistic life. Increasing numbers of brilliant students
attended classes at the Royal Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and
their subsequent careers in the country and abroad are a concrete evidence
of the level of the higher education in music in the interwar period. Musi-
cians like Dinu Lipatti, Constantin Brăiloiu, Ionel Perlea, Constantin Sil-
vestri, Mihail Jora, George Enacovici, Theodor Rogalski, Dimitrie Cuclin
are representatives for this auspicious period in the history of the Romani-
an Conservatory.

Education at the Conservatory from its Establishment
to the Formation of the Music Academy (1919–1939)
The Conservatory in Ljubljana was established in 1919 by the Glasbena mat-
ica Society with the aim of educating instrumentalists-soloists, orchestra
and chamber musicians, opera soloists, choir singers, conductors, compos-
ers, theatre performers and music teachers. The organisation and imple-
mentation of teaching at the lower, secondary and higher level were con-
ceived by professors who studied at conservatories in Vienna, Prague,
Dresden and other European cities, where they learned about the estab-
lished teaching methods and literature and brought both into the Slovene
educational environment. The conservatory’s first headmaster, Matej Hu-
bad, strived for a quality development of the institution’s personnel, syl-
labus and curricula. Over the years, the biggest progress was achieved at
the departments of piano, violin and singing. New compositions and oth-
er learning materials were produced to meet the needs of education. From
the conservatory’s annual reports we can partially reconstruct the study
content of individual subjects. After years of efforts, the conservatory was
nationalised in 1926. Its changed status required the reorganisation of ed-
ucational levels, syllabi and curricula, which, again, drew on examples
from other European conservatories. In the school year 1929/30, the na-
tional conservatory carried out the following programmes: one-year pre-
paratory course, two- or three-year lower music school, six-year second-
ary school and four-year high school. A special department connected an
Opera School (three years) and a Pedagogical Course (four years), and lat-
er also a Conductor School (two years). Further structural changes, expan-
