Skladateljska društva nekoč in danes | Composers’ Societies Past and Present
composers’ societies in most countries have gone significantly beyond their
primary role of meeting professional needs and, in certain periods of their
activity, placed themselves among the key (co-)shapers of wider nation-
al musical life, cultural policy and national musical identity. Thus the ful-
filment of their national mission still appears crucial for the preservation
of their identity and continued existence, while the success of their work
seems to be a guarantee of the further development of contemporary mu-
sical culture.
