in his writings on contemporary music. His views on contemporary music were not straightforward, but rather vacillating, particularly in accepting radical avant-garde practices. At the same time, he did not withhold from his audience information on events he personally did not endorse. A worthy example was his as early as 1912 text on Arnold Schoenberg in the “Serbian Literary Herald.” He, however remained faithful to the ideas of national style in music and modernized music Romanticism. Milojević was also one of the editors of periodical the “Music” (Belgrade, January 1928 – March 1929). Among the most superior music periodicals in Serbia and Yugoslavia prior to World War I, the “Music” had a decisive role in critical presentation of European music to the internal readers’ audience. This was especially corroborated by thematic volumes dedicated to Czech music, Franz Schubert, achievements of Polish and English music, and Ludwig van Beethoven. “Music” offered discussions on national style, and critically recorded events in Yugoslav, Slavic, and Western European art music cultures. During the interwar period, Milojević's textbook on the basics of music theory (Basics of musical art I–II, 1922–27; later under a new title The Basic theory of music, thirteen editions, until 1940) was in use for a long time, as well as his handout course package in harmony, assembled from the well known textbook entitled The Study of Harmony (Harmonielehre) by Rudolf Luis and Ludwig Thuille. Milojević translated opera librettos for Eugene Onegin by A. S. Pushkin/P. I. Tchaikovsky (1920), The Tales of Hoffman by Jules Barbie – Мichel Carré/Jacques Offenbach (1921), and Manon by Henry Meilhak – Philippe Jules/Jules Massenet (1924). The selected writings of Miloje Milojević were published in three volumes entitled Music studies and essays (Belgrade: Géza Kohn (Geca Kon) publishing, I, 1926; II, 1933; Belgrade: edited by Gordana Trajković-Milojević, author's publication, III, 1953). Milojević's treatise The Artistic ideology of Stevan St. Mokranjac, published in 1938 in the “Serbian Literary Herald” is included in the anthology of Serbian music essayism entitled Essays on Art, edited by Jovan Ćirilov (drama), Stana Đurić-Klajn (music), and Lazar Trifunović (visual arts), published in 1966 (pp. 251–262). In 1925–26 together with the group of University faculty, Milojević founded a University chamber music association “Collegium musicum” that played a major role in Belgrade interwar life. Between 21 April 1926 and 15 March 1940, “Collegium musicum” held sixty-seven concerts and performed 417 compositions ranging from Baroque and
