Based on a detailed study of archival documents and relevant literature, in this article I examine Štrekelj’s contribution to folk music research using a new technical device and introducing a new method of sound documentation to field research. By placing his plans and efforts in a broader context of folk song research, one concludes that Štrekelj was more ambitious and forward-thinking than many other researchers at the time.</p>}, number={33}, journal={MUZIKOLOGIJA-MUSICOLOGY}, author={Kunej, Drago}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={39–52} }
