"Nevertheless, as soon as Gusle ceased publication, Vjenceslav Novak started a new journal entitled Glazba [Music], a "Journal for Sacred and Secular Music and the Dramatic Arts," the "Organ of the Croatian Choral Federation." Following the example set by Gusle, Glazba published articles on aesthetics, teaching methods, music theory, on the Croatian National Theatre, and on music in Croatia. Unlike its predecessors, however, it did not include historical or ethnomusicological articles. The piano compositions, solo songs and choral and chamber works which it published were similar to those published in Gusle. After a life-span of one year, Glazba ceased publication in 1893."
