Summary/Abstract: The music chosen for the play Dr. Schuster, which had its premiere on May 29, 2001 at the New Stage of the Zvezdara Theatre in Belgrade, represents one of the most successful examples of the functionalization of music in the domain of incidental music. The selection made by Dragutin Balaban Bajka, the musical collabo rator on this play, includes musical numbers belonging to various genres – from classical music, through old urban music to popular music. In this article, I apply the reconstructive-analytical method (which I developed in my dissertation) to this case study, with the aim to gain insight into the the ways in which music was functionalized within this staging.
