AB  - Using mainly examples and processes from the 19th century, the study focuses on the formation of the (musical) identity of the Czech minority in Vienna. Parallel processes mainly included nationalism, Slavic reciprocity, formation of identity within ethnic groups (for example, Moravian separatism, the issue of the Czech-German conflict community) and the shaping of relations between Slavic nations (for example, Polish-Russian aversion). The issue of musicians' patriotism and renegadism is also discussed in detail. The study does not forget about the phenomenon of competition in the sense of prestige (for example, Czech social balls in Prague and Slavic balls and parties in Vienna before 1848). The phenomenon of labour migration and an outline of the image of the perception of musicians from the Czech lands in Vienna also form a subchapter.
