AB  - Prof. PhDr. Ivan Poledňák, DrSc. (born on December 31, 1931, in Velké Meziříčí) who has recently celebrated his seventy fifth birthday, is a prominent personality of Czech and European musicology of the second half of the 20th century. Entries in encyclopedias, such as The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians or Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, prove the fact. The treatise tries to assess Ivan Poledňák's contribution to activities of the Department of Musicology, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University, Olomouc, where he has worked since 1992 as a teacher, musicologist and also as a head of the department (1998-2000, 2003-2007).
