glasbena kritika – nekoč in danes | music criticism – yesterday and today
There were over 100 articles published in relation to the activities of
Jeunesses Musicales Slovenia from 1970 to 1991. These articles, in addition
to music reviews, include announcements of concerts, general assemblies,
summer camps, competitions, music quizzes, conferences and congresses
of the JMS, and reports on the JMS. There were 71 music reviews in total.
The earliest reviews (three in total) date all the way back to 1970, but it was
not until 1979 that the number of reviews started to increase, reaching the
peak (14 published reviews) in 1983. After this year the number of reviews
declined, with only a single review published in 1970.
These data suggest that there was a very dynamic period spanning
from 1979 to 1985, in which the JMS activities were more extensively cov-
ered in the press, whereas the other segments of the period in question saw
only sporadic interest of the press. In the following section, I thus wish to
determine which publications covered the activities of the JMS to the great-
est extent.

Figure 2: Number of reviews of JMS per year and publication.
As Figure 2 demonstrates, the majority of all music reviews were pub-
lished in the Delo and Dnevnik daily newspapers, with only two reviews
published in the Glasbena mladina magazine. Table 1 gives a detailed ac-
count of the 71 reviews by year and publication. As Table 1 demonstrates,
out of 21 years within our timespan of interest, there are reviews covering
16 seasons, whereas no records survive for other years.
