This paper presents music history as a university discipline during Communism and after. Shaping the specific historical context, marked by censorship, the study focuses on the main course books on the subject, from Bucharest, Cluj, and Ia?i, beginning with some Soviet authors and ending with the mature generation of today. The main problems detected are ideological perversion, informational delay and isolation, as well as subjective individualism.
