The piano music by Čestmír Gregor
Veličková, Magda ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
In my thesis, I introduce a complete list of piano works by Cestmír Gregor, a contemporary Czech composer of modern classical music. 1 have tried to define his compositional techniques and sources of inspiration by analysing the individual pieces of music. I have found that the major features of the author's highly unique style are polyphonic thinking, the development of motives from small nuclei, expressive themes, plastic tunes, inventive work with rhythm, and the absence of a tonal centre which he compensates for by distinctive melodies . The author finds his inspiration in folklore, especially Moravian (Leoš Janácek), the works of Czech interwar avantgarde (Pavel Borkovec) and in jazz (Jaroslav Ježek). His music reflects the emotional states of a man living in the twenty-first century whose life style is predominantly determined by an urban environment. Gregor does not use any of the Musica Nova theories, instead he founded his own music language. The basis for his compositions is communicative music, which follows the patterns of human perceptive psychology. Gregor's concertant compositions are typical for a new instrument stylization and nontraditional attitudes towards instrument virtuosity (playing with a palm, elbow; an unconventional fingering). His piano sonatas and concerts enable the...

Piano interpretation and modern view of the notation
Gregor, Vít
The writer of this essay has chosen this topic, which is very important for all interpreters. Mostly it is about the view to work with score of piano music, its understanding and successful presentation to audience. The chosen topic requires applying of several methods that writer uses, e.g.: analyses of music script, experiment, confrontation of performance, generalizing of own and foreign experiences, intuition, which is very important for understanding of productions. The essay is divided into three parts. The first one is about the history of music score and work necessity of performer. The writer thinks that music score has a dualistic character. It does not explicitly express, what is needed for a real interpretation. In this part, the write thinks of music score from different views.

The writer is concerned on questions of interpretative history, interpretative tradition, level of interpretation that are very important for all interpreters. The writer draws basic principles of interpretation from these psychological ways, there is also point out the necessity of theoretical and practical united access. The end of this part is about some...

Albanian Music Culture with a Focus on the Art of Piano Teaching System and Plays the Piano
Prifti, Egli ; Gregor, Vít (referee) ; Palkovská, Jana (advisor)
Albania is a country where western and eastern culture is naturally mixed. This characteristic is notable in all kinds of Albanian art. The piano came to Albania at the end of the nineteenth century and was till the sixties of the twentieth century mostly used as an accompanying instrument. In 1962, thanks to the opening of the Conservatory of Tirana, the piano became a concert instrument, and by the seventies it was considered a highly preferred instrument in Albania. The Communist era can be esteemed as the most important period for Albanian piano literature. Considering that the aim of this study is to make an introduction to the Albanian music by focusing on piano music, a considerable part of this diploma thesis deals with the Communist period of the Albanian history (1945 - 1990). Because of the word limit of this diploma thesis, only an overview to the Albanian music and a general analysis of the Albanian piano literature is introduced.

Sergej Prokofjev - Piano Compositions for Small and Big Pianists
Hubková, Terezie ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Kopecká, Věra (referee)
Sergei Prokofiev is one of the foremost composers of the 20th century. He was also an excellent pianist, and therefore it is not surprising that he devoted a great part of his work to the piano. I would like to put near both aspects of Prokofiev's production in my thesis, the piano music for advanced pianists and the compositions which we could use in classes at the music schools. From the first group I have chosen the monumental sonata cycle which is formed of nine piano sonatas. I would like to concentrate on the First Piano Sonata op. 1 and the second movement from the Fourth Piano Sonata op. 29. I tried to to make a deeper and interpretative analysis. From the compositions for children I have inserted into my thesis the piano transcription of the symphonic fairy tale Peter and the Wolf op. 67 and Music for Children op. 65. At least marginally I allude Tales of an Old Grandmother op. 31, Prelude op. 12 and the part of piano suite from the ballet Romeo and Juliet op. 75. The piano compositions by Sergei Prokofiev don't often sound from the concert podiums. I think it is a pity so I would like my work to serve as a small inspiration.

The Piano Works of Robert Schumann with a view to Instruction in Composition
Znamenáčková, Simona ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Tichá, Libuše (referee) ; Gregor, Vít (referee)
Bei der Wahl des Themas für meine Diplomarbeit bin ich von der Sicht der Klavierspielerin ausgegangen. Mein Ziel war, ein Thema auszuwählen, das mir wirklich nahe liegt. Schon von Anfang an habe ich gewusst, dass ich mich mit dem musikalischen Schaffen einer berühmten Persönlichkeit beschäftigen will. Ich musste mir erst klar werden, wem ich mich im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit widmen soll, den die Auswahl der Komponist ist wirklich gross. Die endgültige Gutscheidung ist von drei Aspekten geprägt. Es sollte ein Komponist, der ich liebe, deren Schaffen mir nahe ist, ein Komponist, dessen Kompositionen während des Studiums in meinem Repertoire waren. Aus der pedagogischen Sicht - ein Komponist, dessen Werk sich auch an Kinder richtet. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Voplakalová, Olga ; Palkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Gregor, Vít (referee)
The main topic of my thesis is Piano duet - with possible application in education and artistic performance. Piano duets are two kinds: those for two players at one instrument, and those in which each of the two pianists has an instrument to himself. This thesis is divides into four chapters. The first one contains historical overview of the piano duets development. The second chapter provides examples of various national or international competitions and the most famous czech and foreign professional piano duets. Next chapter deals with specific technical issues of piano duets, for example selection o f piano partner or selection of repertoire. The last chapter focuses on piano duets instructions at czech music schools. It also provides some examples o f instructive literature for preschool children and pupils o f the elementary and middle schools. This thesis is an account of piano duets from the educational and artistic aspects. It is not systematic methodological text for piano teachers but it can cast light on issues of piano duets and provides them basic information. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
