Josif Šlezinger: začetnik srpskog muzičkog života u XIX veku

Abstract

Retko koji muzičar u svetskoj istoriji muzike ima takvu pionirsku ulogu u jednoj zemlji i jednom narodu, kao što je imao Josif Šlezinger u Srbiji XIX veka. Sudelujući u raznim orkestrima širom Ugarske, Josif je naučio da svira na mnogim instrumentima (violina, klarinet, truba, rog), a isto tako je savladao osnove muzičke teorije i dirigovanja. Dolaskom Šlezingera u Kragujevac nastaje nova etapa u istoriji srpske muzičke kulture. On je uveo novi evropski duh u srpski muzički život. Njemu zahvaljujući, Kragujevac je, prvi u Srbiji, imao priliku da sluša već tridesetih godina prošlog veka sasvim nova, tek komponovana dela Belinija (Bellini), Donicetija (Donizetti). Za prvo zvanično pozorište u Srbiji Šlezinger je komponovao scensku muziku u nizu domaćih komada.

In the history of music play in one country and one nation as a pioneering role, rarely exists musicians such as Joseph Schlesinger in the 19th century in Serbia. Participating in various orchestras throughout Hungary, Joseph learned to play many instruments (violin, clarinet, trumpet and horn) and mastered the basics of music theory and conducting. The arrival of Schlesinger in Kragujevac marks a new stage in the history of Serbian music culture. He introduced a new European spirit into Serbian music life. Thanks to him, Kragujevac, the first in Serbia, had the opportunity to listen to the completely new, only composed works of Bellini, Donizetti (Donizetti) already in the 1830s. For the first official theater in Serbia, Schlesinger composed stage music in a series of domestic musical pieces.
