Matej Hubad in the context of the musical
life of Slavic societies in Vienna

Matej Hubad (1866–1937) has been thoroughly covered in Slovene music
lexicography and musicological literature in general.1 Therefore, this study
will only focus on a certain stage of his life.2 He was a typical representative
of the category called “the bridge between Vienna and the homeland.” How-
ever, let us begin with a certain biographical summary of this significant
choirmaster, teacher, pianist, singer, composer and organiser.
He focused on music from his youth. He completed his gymnasium
studies in Ptuj and Ljubljana (graduation on 15 July 1886). In Ljubljana, he
was active in the Glasbena Matica society (for example, he conducted a school
choir on 25 March 1885) and his name can also be found on the programmes
