Marešová, Michaela ; Langer, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šimonková, Dagmar (referee)
My bachelor´s work is called Piano work Ludwig van Beethoven in 1802-1812. These years are interesting because from 1802 he started to write pieces with his original style and in these ten years he wrote a lot of piano pieces. I devided my work to three chapters and every one have smaller separate chapter.First chapter is called Ludwig van Beethoven in years 1802-1812, where I first time write about politic situation in this period, then more deeply about his life and illness and at least I write little about his relation to piano. Next chapter is Piano work in years 1802-1812, where I analyse piano pieces formally, first time variations and fantasies, piano sonatas and at least piano concertos. The last chapter is all dedicated piano sonata f minor op. 57, whre I trie more deeply analyse this piece formally and also analyse interpretation.

Hudečková, Veronika ; Malý, František (advisor) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
The objective of my bachelor´s thesis was elaboration of the main piano works by Josef Suk, how is described already in the title of my work. I endeavoured to do a factual and interesting insight in his piano pieces. My solution of conception of my thesis is following: I´ ve resolved my bachelor´s thesis into two crucial subsections. Because of my interest of Josef Suk´s life - for his studying at Prague Conservatory, his working and activities in Czech quartette or his affinity for Antonín Dvořák, I´ ve decided to be more concentrated for this in the first subsection. Then I was writing about his main piano pieces, particularly about his cycles in the second subsection. In some parts I again came back to some of his life´s periods, which are connected with thereinafter works. At the close I´ ve tried to compile my finding and the aspects which I wanted to explain.

Baranová, Markéta ; Klánský, Ivan (advisor) ; Vlasáková, Alena (referee) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
Francis Poulenc is french composer of 20. century, one of Le Groupe des Six, but not too known. I would like to introduce him more in this Master´s thesis. I would also like to appreciate Poulenc ´s chamber compositions with piano, which is the closest instrument to me. Each composition, it ´s analysis and history has it ´s own capture.
Special capture belongs to his curriculum vitae and also to his complete works. I believe it´s necessary to understand the part of chamber compositions with piano among all Poulenc ´s works.
I hope, that this thesis can help to explore this excellent and amusing author.
