Other Romantics such as the German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803)
claimed that true German culture was to be discovered among the common people – das
volk. It was through folk songs, folk poetry and folk dances that the true spirit of the nation
(volksgeist) was popularised. So collecting and recording these forms of folk culture was
essential to the project of nation-building.
The emphasis on vernacular language and the collection of local folklore was not just to
recover an ancient national spirit, but also to carry the modern nationalist message to large
audiences who were mostly illiterate. This was especially so in the case of Poland, which had
been partitioned at the end of the eighteenth century by the Great Powers – Russia, Prussia
and Austria. Even though Poland no longer existed as an independent territory, national
feelings were kept alive through music and language. Karol Kurpinski, for example, celebrated
the national struggle through his operas and music, turning folk dances like the polonaise and
mazurka into nationalist symbols.
