The Preparation of interpretive Performance
Šístek, Eduard ; ERICSSON, Mikael (advisor) ; HOŠEK, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is about the preparation of a performance, the relationship between interpretation and technugue and other elements which constitute a good performance.The key idea is an-round development of a performer´s abilities and skills- Having an idea of both harmonic and formal structure of a composition makes us more able to interpret it. Developed mental abilities of memory and imagination are needed for this as much as a reliable technigue. The quality of a performance is influenced by the preparation process to a considerable extent.Besides, the ability to adapt to the acoustic of the hall and coping with stagefright do not lack importance either. Every public performance brings new sensation and inspiration. The performer should eventually review his performance, thus giving himself a hint of what he should work on further.

Edward Elgar and his cello concerto
Lee, Moises ; ERICSSON, Mikael (advisor) ; HOŠEK, Jiří (referee)
The repertoire of soloistic for cello is far narrower than those of other concertante instruments. So we tend to think that we know well of all the regularly performed cello concertos, in which the Elgar Concerto is among them.However, besides the concerto itself and some populare songs, variations or marches, there is little knowledge about the and work of the composer. Moreover, we have to take into account the massive influence of Jacqueline deu Pré, whose very personal and passionate performance has become an almost absolute point of refernece, above the annotations of Elgar himself.
My work aims to give a broader approach to Edward Elgar ande his cwork, and to give an interpretation proposal, after having consulted the composers´marks and recordings, and contrast it with the opinions of other prestigious cellist ( Han-Na Chang and Kazimierz Michalik).
