Today in Japan you can receive professional education in school education from the age of 16. Now there are many music schools and many students also specializes in Western music. However, practical lessons and lectures are not focused on the education of "professional" musicians, and the level of music education in Japan is very different. We can say that the Japanese music school to stall completely. In recent years, efforts to reform education, reform the curriculum and not just subjects but also the prevalance of musical genres.

FRANCIS POULENC - CHAMBER COMPOSITIONS WITH PIANO
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.
