Title: Analýza rytmického sprievodu v ľudových hudbách na Slovensku
Author: Jana AMBRÓZOVÁ

Abstract: Mainly thanks to an improvement in recording techniques and the technical feasibility of a more thorough analysis of field recordings, research of traditional ensemble music has extended its range to include analysis of the style features of harmonic-rhythmic accompaniment in traditional string bands. In an analysis of the interpretation styles of selected accompanists (viola and double bass players) the key objective was to define the fundamental features of the rhythmic component of their music. This was achieved by examining the rhythmic motifs forming its inner structure. The core of the analysis consists in the search for relevant differences between the notational and the actually-sounding form of individual rhythmic patterns. Theoretical and methodological premises of the analysis are presented, taking particular note of the findings of music psychologists researching rhythm perception and cognition, and acknowledging the musical-structural complexity of harmonic-rhythmic accompaniment in traditional string music in Slovakia. One of the results of the analytic work is a systematisation of the rhythmic models identified, with a system of alphanumeric codes which replaces their graphic musical representation.


Keywords: traditional string bands, harmonic-rhythmic accompaniment, style features of rhythmic accompaniment, style of music interpretation, systematisation, model of rhythmic accompaniment, type and variant of rhythmic accompaniment
