Madarasová, Iveta ; Malý, František (advisor) ; Leichner, Emil (referee) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
At the beginning of my master´s essay I treat the character of Leos Janacek´s piano work. Following chapters aredevoted to specific piano compositions: Thema con variazioni - Zdenka´s variations, piano cycle On an Overgrown Path, the Sonata 1.X.1905, piano cycle In the Mists, the Concertino, the Capriccio and the Reminiscence. The main attention is focused on his three most mature pieces - piano cycle On an overgrown Path, the Sonata 1.X.1905 and piano cycle In the Mists. I deal with their origins, formal and harmonic analysis, tematic relations and, not at least, a poetic reflection on the compositions mentioned above.

Budínská, Šárka ; Malý, František (advisor) ; Toperczer, Peter (referee) ; Krajný, Boris (referee)
This work, which is called "Piano works inspired in drama works by William Shakespeare" is mainly focusing on two the most important piano compositions based on Shakespeare - The piano suite from ballet Romeo and Juliet of Sergei Prokofiev and The study to Shakespeare´s scene - Macbeth and the witches of Bedřich Smetana. In their analysis included in this work I particularly tried to concentrate on the layer of meaning of their reciprocal musical and literarily - dramatic context.

The Phenomenon of Piano Tone Color
Jurčík, Vlastimil ; Krajný, Boris (advisor) ; Šimonková, Dagmar (referee) ; Malý, František (referee)
This work deals with the question of how we are able to objectively observe changes in the piano's tone color according to changes in the pianist's touch. The intension of this work is to demonstrate to the reader, a thorough comparison of data and information so that the phenomenon at hand can be understood in depth, rather than superficially. In order to achieve this it is necessary to find basic elements pertaining to the matter, analyse them and apply them to an audible model. To do this one must analised the characteristic of tone color, the piano's mechanism, and finally the psychology of the listner's perception. In order to support certain logical considerations, the results of several modern experiments are reviewed which are however unable to replace one's logical conclusions.
