The subject of this thesis is Richard Strauss's oboe concert. The author puts the
historical beginnings of this concert into a new perspective and carries out
several comparisons. The first two chapters describe the composer's artistic
progress, his brief biography and the history of the concert's origins. They
straighten out a popular legend, which is full of anecdotes and inaccuracies. Next
chapter analyses the concert in its formally-thematic aspect and the analysis is
supported by short note examples. Related to that is the following chapter, which
compares the original manuscript with the printed score and shows examples of
differences. The main focus of the last three chapters is interpretation,
introduced with short biographies of three musicians, and a detailed comparison
of their recordings and concepts of the concert. After the conclusion, the author
presents appendices containing the sources and materials used, e.g. a chart
showing time comparison of recordings, photos documenting the the gradual
development of the concert as well as music sheets.
