The goal of the submitted work is to find out and to evaluate the state of sources connected with Antonín Dvořák's personal artistic contacts as well as with reception of his artwork and his figure in the regions set in the introduction of this work and by the concept of Liberec region in general.

Concert Overtures Nature, Life, and Love op. 91-93 by Antonín Dvořák
Myslivcová, Eva ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Ottlová, Marta (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with Antonín Dvořák's trilogy of concert overtures Nature, Life and Love, Op. 91-93. After summarising the current state of research in existing literature followed by the overview of music and non-musical sources, the overture - and mainly concert overture - is depicted as a music genre and Antonín Dvořák's overtures are presented in general. Integral element of the thesis is a summarization of circumstances of the given works' origin and thus also putting them into the context of composer's oeuvre. However the focus of the thesis lies in a musical-analytical insight into each of the three overtures (In Nature's Realm, Op. 91 [B 168], Carnival, Op. 92 [B 169], Othello, Op. 93 [B 174]), where the author also takes their existing analyses into account and pays attention to their genesis according to the sources. Key words Antonín Dvořák, Concert ouverture

The Overture to the First Version of the Opera King and Charcoal Burner
Myslivcová, Eva
The issue of different versions of works of music is one that is discussed in the case of Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), and in a certain sense it is connected with the theme "old and new", when an older, earlier, or first version becomes the basis for a newer one. This text focuses on a specific example of different versions, that of the overture to the first setting of Dvořák's opera King and Charcoal Burner from the year 1871. An overture which, as an integral part of the opera, was based on the musical material contained in the work, which eventually was never performed. And at the same time an overture that was the only part of this opera to "survive", was later transformed by the composer himself to a concert overture and thus became an independent work, while the opera's libretto was set to new music. This is in a nutshell the rather complicated genesis of the opera King and Charcoal Burner, during which the Concert Overture in F Major took shape as a new composition, created from the musical material of an old one.
