The Correspondence of Guido Adler and Dobroslav Orel. Testimony to the Teacher-Pupil Relationship

Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the personal and professional relationship of Dobroslav Orel and Guido Adler. Both scholars had in common an interest in historical musical monuments. Under Guido Adler’s direction Orel gained a doctorate at the University of Vienna in 1914, became a member of the working team for the edition Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich, and in subsequent years gave his teacher ongoing information about his research. Despite the fact that he did not complete his prepared edition Kodex Speciálník, Dobroslav Orel laid the foundations of Czechoslovak medieval studies with his further research, publications, and above all his teaching activity. Part of the correspondence of the two scholars is today deposited in the USA, in Guido Adler’s effects at the University of Georgia, while some written materials may be found in the effects of Dobroslav Orel at the National Museum – Czech Museum of Music. The correspondence with commentary, testifying to the mutual respect of the two scholars, which endured throughout a long period, is published in full for the first time.
