The final study of pro fessor
Smolka in fact complements
his monograph on Ladislav
Vycpálek. He chronologically follows
Vycpálek’s musiccritical
texts
published between 1908 and 1920
primarily in the periodicals Hudební
revue and Lumír. In the introduction
he presents the context
of the period – the prewar
musical
society was divided in two
camps roughly corresponding
with the circles surrounding the
periodicals Smetana and Hudební
revue. Within this context he positions
Vycpálek’s polemics with
Nejedlý, Helfert, O. Zich and Jirák.
In the prewar
period, Vycpálek’s
views were strongly influenced by
his teacher, V. Novák. In his texts,
Vycpálek displays an affinity for the
circle around Hudební revue even
though he never takes part in the
active „fight for Dvořák“. He states
clear critical remarks concerning
Foerster and Fibich, while the
work of Novák and Suk is closer
to his taste. Another part of the
study deals with the change that
Vycpálek’s evaluation takes during
WW I also combined with his liberation
from Novák’s influence. Nationalism
becomes Vycpálek’s main
evaluating criterion. He changes his
attitude to folk songs as well as to
Smetana in comparison to Dvořák
and other Czech composers. In his
critical essays after the war, he supports
the rising Czech modernist
composers, evaluating mainly coherence
of form. He ends his publication
activities in 1920 when he
moves his focus primarily to composition.
