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.

Uhlík, Jakub ; Klánský, Ivan (advisor) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee) ; Leichner, Emil (referee)
I would like to introduce one big "renaissance" person. Daniel Forró is a polyglot, top of the world in field of MIDI, great keyboard player and very successful composer . Since Forró lives in Japan, it is important to remember him in Czech technical fields. I would like to introduce a digest of Forro´s work and some of his theses about a music of 21th Century. He is also a man with large ideas in various fields of knowledge. That is why this composition would introduce Forró to potential readers as not only an expert but also as a human being.
