Mieczyslaw Weiberg and his music for cello.
Virglerová, Zuzana ; Petráš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Hošek, Jiří (referee) ; Ericsson, Mikael (referee)
My graduation thesis deals with the work of composer Mieczyslaw Weiberg and focuses particularly on his compositions for cello.In the first chapter I have given Weiberg´s biography so that we can imagine and understand the era and conditions in which the composer lived and composed. The second is about Weinber´s work. First I list the most important compositions of his entire work and then I introduce all the cello pieces. Dmitrij Shostakovuch had a very important influence on Weiberg´s artistic personality. Therefore one part of this chapter is dedicated to this artistic dialogue. Though Weiberg is still relatively unknown in the Czech republic, in other countries many new recordings of his music are being released. I mention here the latest ones as well as some texts about his life and work. It is prof. Josef Fejgelson who ispired my interest in Weiberg´s music. This cellist is a supporter and propagandist of his music and so I also want to introduco him shortly in chapter three of this thesis. Not to speak only theoretically about Weinberg´s music, in chapter four I am showing one of his cello compositions - 24 Preludes for cello solo, op. 100. I mention the circumstances of its origin and then I make an analysis of this piece. Finally I attach also some photos of Weinberg and his friends.
