| Note | he beginnings of SOZA go back to 1922, when a Slovak branch of the Czech Association Protecting Musical Works of Composers and Publishers was founded. In 1939 the Slovak Association of Music Composers, Writers and Publishers, cooperative of a limited liabilities company (SAS) was set apart. 34 composers and writers of lyrics became members of SAS, among them also: Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský, Eugen Suchoň, Alexander Moyzes and Gejza Dusík.
