Josip Stojanovic and Nikola Vukasinovic were both authors of original guitar-method books, very famous in the early 1930s. Both published their editions with the music Company of Franjo Schneider (Koncanica 1903 – Zagreb 1966), who had a great reputation as a fine instrument maker (especially different kinds of tambours and guitars). Schneider arrived in Zagreb in 1928 and started his large music enterprise, making and repairing instruments as well as publishing music literature. Both above-mentioned guitar methods, which had several later editions, were probably first published around 1935. Each author was a very popular player, and most of the pieces included in their schools are their own short compositions based on traditional folk themes. They were attive before and after World War I in Zagreb. (Uros Dojcinovic: Guitar Compositions from Yugoslavia. Vol.II Croatia, 2003)
