Philippe Gaubert:The Works for Flute and Piano in the Light of performing and aesthetical Aspect
Pingitzer, Simona ; Válek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pivoda, Radomír (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to characterize and describe each work by Philippe Gaubert for flute and piano. It serves as a resource for explanation of the unique idiomatic style of Gaubert´s composing for flute, and it will for sure arouse interest in studying and performing his music.
The technical and performance aspects of the thesis are based on the methodic guide called Méthode Complète de Flûte, whose authors are Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert. The Méthode is a valuable document for the flutists of all ages and levels, and also it is an inevitable basis for a deeper analysis of Gaubert´s flute music. When studying this music it is clear, which aspects of playing were so important for these significant teachers. Firstly, it concentrates on a high-quality tone production as a primary ideal, which is desired by every flutist. Musical elements such as tone colour, technique, dynamics, articulation and phrasing are thoroughly discussed at each Gaubert´s work, using his Méthode as a guide. Each analysis also suggests the level of the work´s difficulty and possible problems with technique, rhythm, tone range and musicality.

Marcel Moyse
Reiprich, Oto ; Pivoda, Radomír (advisor) ; Válek, Jiří (referee)
With this bachelor thesis I would like to introduce a remarkable French flutist, pedagogue and an author of worldwide played studies and etudes. In the first paragraphs I describe Moyse's life from the very tough beginnings and a musical childhood through the influence of important flute figures during his studies at the Conservatory of Paris. Furthermore, I concern his career development throughout his activities in Paris or Geneva and a settlement in America and, moreover, his movement during the World War. Last but not least I write about the very famous Masterclass of his. ?Moyse as a teacher? is a topic of the next chapter which represents the flutist's growth as a pedagogue, his way of teaching, the communication with students, and his own view of concrete flute techniques like tone, vibrato, interpretation etc. The next follows a part that is titled ?The Author?, where I describe his most famous collection of etudes and exercises. At the very end I present Moyse as an artist and very exceptional interpreter, I mention also his recordings and his ensemble - The Moyse Trio. All the chapters are completed by quotations of himself, his students, friends and family.

The flute in Bohuslav Martinu´s chamber music works
Zemková, Martina ; Pivoda, Radomír (advisor) ; Válek, Jiří (referee)
The thesis is focused on the chamber music pieces with flute composed by Bohuslav Martinů. One of the sub-chapters is dedicated to Concert for Flute, Violin and Orchestra, but only because of its close connection to chamber pieces for these instruments. The chapter about the life of Bohuslav Martinů is brief and is focused only on the most important facts from this area. In the second chapter there are sonatas, trios, sextets, nonets, etc. and all those pieces have their own historical ? esthetic commentary, basic info about their origination, manuscripts, issues etc. For chosen pieces (Sonata for Flute, Violin and Piano, Sonata for Flute and Piano, Promenades, Sextet) there is dedicated detailed analysis, especially formal and harmonious analysis. The interpretative problems are also one of the goals I tried to achieve altogether with my points of view of these musical pieces and their interpretation

Chmelová, Lenka ; Válek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pivoda, Radomír (referee)
You will find in this thesis partly a history of the flute and some composers of their era and their compositions of chamber music. There were very interesting few opening chapters for me personally, which engage with the oldest documented history of the flute. When I was writing this thesis I found a lot of new information, which could be interesting for you. It is possible you do not find there all of your answers for your questions, but I hope that this thesis is bringing you some new knowledge.
