THE DEVELOPMENT OF VOCAL PERFORMANCE AND VOCAL PEDAGOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF NON-ARTIFICIAL MUSIC OF THE 20TH–21ST CENTURIES IN SLOVAKIA
Abstract
The contribution focuses on historical relationships of the development of vocal performance and vocal pedagogy in the second half of the 20th century, which is definitely based on the classical vocal performance and vocal pedagogy respecting the bel canto principle of singing. The Slovak vocal school fully respected the Italian bel canto principle of singing. The founding personality of the vocal pedagogy in Slovakia was a Czech violinist, composer, singer and teacher Josef Egem, who adopted the bel canto singing technique while studying at the Vienna Conservatory with August Iffert. In that period the freedom of vocal performance in non-artificial genre did not require the systematization of the used vocal techniques, elaborate vocal methodology, or vocal education considerably different from classical singing. The study also presents the styles of many significant singers who indubitably entered not only the history of vocal performance but also of vocal pedagogy in the context of non-artificial music.
