In 1898, the writer Ivan Cankar (1876-1918) translated (amongst numerous other works) a libretto by Guido Menasci (1867-1925) for the "dramatic romance" Stara Pesem (An Old Song) written by Viktor Parma (1858-1925). However, Cankar did not translated the text form the Italian original, but used the Croatian translation by August Harambašić instead. The work, which was based on motifs form the poems of Heinrich Heine, did not reap particularly positive critics, despite the several performances given. The Slovene translation of Stara Pesem, which was thought lost for several decades, was discovered in 1998 by Mitja Spreizer in the Musical Collection of Ljubljana's National and University Library.
