Mousa Bacha, Hedvika ; BOUŠKOVÁ, Jana (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
Master´s Thesis - French Harp Virtuoses and Their Compossitional Contribution - is focused on a harpist, since the invention of single action harp, starting with Jean-Pierre Bauer to Dominiga Bouchaud, the harpist who represents the second half of the twentieth century. These artists often came from harpist families in which this craft ( harp), like in other fields was inherited to next genaration. The French virtuoses were active solo and chamber players, pedagogues, theorists and innovators of harp mechanism. They contributed to the expansion of harp repertoire, thanks to their original works as well as transcription of works that were not originally written for harp. The´ve written many harp´s methods, which have helped in improving technigue of many students, these methods are still in use not only in France at present time. Henriette Renié, Marcel Grandjany, Carlos Salzedo, and other virtuoses inspired other artists to create music for this instrument by their highly artistic qualities.Among the composers who had been charmed by the sound of harp were C.Debussy, A.Roussel, M.

Mauro Giuliani : Guitar Concertos
Zelinka, Aleš ; RAK, Štěpán (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
In my thesis, I would like to emphasise to general consciousness relatively few played (but well known) guitar concertos of the guitar virtuoso and composer, living at the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, Mauro Giuliani. I would like to perform it in such a manner, that in the first part, I will set his musical personality into a context of his time and shortly describe his musical career and whereabouts, especially in a relation with many signifiant personalities from his surrounding, with who he has collaborated with, or got inspiration from, so that it influenced his work.
In the next part, I would cite all the major fields of his work and evaluate them from today?s perspective as a performer. Technical requirements of his compositions are very individual and therefore the author is very valuable for a wide range of guitarists. Many of Giuliani?s compositions are very few known, so I would like to especially pick these up to attention, that I consider they don?t deserve to be quite forgotten or overlooked.
Then, in the following chapter, I will analyse the 3 existing guitar concertos. That should be the core of my thesis. Especially, I would like to focus on 3rd concerto F-major op.70, originally written for the terz guitar.
At the end, I will make an emphasis on the meaning of his concertos in the way, that I sum up the conclusions from the previous chapter. From the perspective of classical guitar literature are these concertos very valuable, because in comparison with some other instruments, we have a very few of them in general. Especially from this period of time and this quality.
