This master´s thesis has the main purpose in Kocian Quartet, one of the best Czech ensembles during the last four decades. I write about the group´s rise and prograss during the years. I describe wide concert activities, special projects, recording and pedagogical activities. The important and valuable are lists of discography, repertoir, premieres, broadcast recordings, abroad tours, public shows, which are attached. Quartet´s first violinist Pavel Hůla and quarte´s violoncellist Václav Bernášek have helped me during the formation of this work. They have been describing from the ensemble´s history to me personally. All the informations are therefore more than authentic. The Kocians gave me source materials ( concert´s programms, posters, reviews, photos etc.), which are also presented.

Ferdinand Laub - The Life and the Work
Polášek, Matěj ; Snítil, Václav (advisor) ; Matoušek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Kotmel, Bohumil (referee)
The aim of the master thesis Ferdinand Laub - Life and Work is to offer comprehensive but not exhaustive facts about a practically forgotten Czech violinist, conductor and composer F. Laub. The text presents a summary of available data and some revisions because the last biography was published in 1951. The most extensive part of the work includes biographical data of the violinist and his artistic relevance which is generally undervalued. Attention is also paid to compositions that are available in a small number only. His composing style is demonstrated on his best known piece - Polonaise, op. 7. The text also contains chapters about Laub's ascendants at the Prague Conservatory. The thesis is finished with personal evaluation of Ferdinand Laub in the context of the Czech musical culture.
