​​​Welcome to a website dedicated to Slovak music for guitar, which serves as the outcome of a research project bearing the same name. It aims to provide a scholarly yet holistic view of compositional works by Slovak composers written for — and involving — the guitar.

​​

The project seeks to map the quality, diversity, and developmental continuity of Slovak guitar music. Works for guitar by Slovak authors represent an artistically valuable and aesthetically diverse contribution to both the national and international musical landscape.​ Today, Slovak composed music for guitar reflects — to a significant extent — both stylistic and compositional-technical heterogeneity in approaches to musical material within Slovak composition as a whole.

Slovak guitar music offers remarkable stylistic and technical variety. Within this body of work, we can observe diverse compositional approaches to musical substance, mirroring broader tendencies in the evolution of Slovak music — for instance, the integration of progressive compositional techniques. In certain cases — such as with Jozef Kolkovič, Marián Budoš, and Jana Kmiťová — the guitar is a consistent presence throughout their entire compositional development. This continuity allows us to trace not only changing aesthetic preferences, but also the evolution of their musical thinking itself.​
