Musicology was established as an independent academic discipline in Estonia after the<\/p>\n
Second World War under the Soviet regime. The Faculty of Musicology (muusikateaduse<\/p>\n
kateeder) was established in 1944 at the Tallinn State Conservatoire (Tallinna Riiklik<\/p>\n
Konservatoorium), following the common practice in the Soviet Union of teaching this<\/p>\n
discipline at conservatoires, in contrast to the Western tradition, where musicology has<\/p>\n
typically been associated with universities. The new academic discipline had to develop<\/p>\n
within the confines of an imposed foreign ideology, where the research directions,<\/p>\n
methodological approaches, and professional tasks for musicologists were suddenly defined<\/p>\n
by the model established in Soviet musicology in the 1930s. The strong influence of the<\/p>\n
Soviet regime on musicology in Estonia and other countries with a similar fate can be seen<\/p>\n
even in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. To a certain extent, traces of<\/p>\n
the Soviet legacy can still be observed in the musicology of the former Soviet republics<\/p>\n
today.<\/p>\n
The aim of this dissertation is to examine the birth and development of Estonian academic<\/p>\n
musicology from 1944 to 1968, taking into account the social and political context that<\/p>\n
surrounded the emerging discipline. The focus of the study is the Faculty of Musicology at<\/p>\n
the Tallinn State Conservatoire as the central institution for musicology in Estonia during<\/p>\n
this period. The dissertation has two objectives: 1) to provide a detailed and comprehensive<\/p>\n
overview of the history and activities of the Faculty of Musicology, as academic reflection<\/p>\n
on the discipline\u2019s development has so far been lacking; and 2) to analyse the influence of<\/p>\n
Soviet musicology and ideology, and how it manifested in Estonian academic musicology.<\/p>\n
The study employs the approaches of structural history of music and disciplinary history,<\/p>\n
primarily using source criticism, comparative methodology, and biographical approach as<\/p>\n
the key research methods<\/p><\/blockquote>\n"}],"mobile_show_side":false,"side_title":"","side_info":"","side_links_title":"","dont_show_auto_gen":false,"side_links":false,"add_people":false,"add_news":false,"add_events":false},"yoast_head":"\n
