The tasks of an interpreter in Adagio g moll J.S.Bacha 1001
Pustějovský, Ondřej ; Štraus, Ivan (advisor) ; Tomášek, Jiří (referee) ; Matoušek, Bohuslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis has the main purpose a description of some interpretative possibilities of Bach´s score of Adagio in g minor from Sonata for solo violin No. 1. Dynamical development, articulation, agogic, phrasing, changes of timbre and vibrato are deduced and elaborated on the basis of the musical content and structure of the score. This thesis is searching also a racional, why the affect theory fixed some musical figures because of their supposed activating of certain states of mind, feelings and moods. A sensuous and experientialist point of view is also presented here, because both - rationalistic as well as sensuous and experientialist aspects - had an influence on musical expression during the time of Bach´s creative activity. At the turn of the renaissance to baroque, the harmony started to become more evident, voices doubled ( in basso continuo) one leading voice began to be clear and independent on other voices. Florentine camerata finished - more or less - with the polyphony. Thus it took qiute a long time till polyphony came in the higher degree in music to its own again. The harmony ( not only contrapuntal tecgnic) was essential in that time. That´s why the author of this thesis concerns himself basically with the musical expression on the ground of harmonical tension.This thesis contains harmonical analysis as well as the polyphonical one. Graphic presentation of formal plan, division of Bach´s score to the 4 lines and Bach´s Urtext are attached. Very short summary of the evolution situation in europe during the baroque epoch is also included, because Bach came from a large familly with great teaching tradition. This thesis also tries to describe the protestant milieu as Bach was very adherent to it. Autor also explains how Bach´s organist activities influenced his whole compositional style.

History of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and itś concertmasters
Vrabcová, Monika ; Štraus, Ivan (advisor) ; Štraus, Ivan (advisor) ; Hůla, Pavel (referee) ; Matoušek, Bohuslav (referee)
4 July 1986 is considered to be the date Of Chzech Philharmonic orchestra. That day in Rudolfinum ( present Dvořák´s Hall ) Antoín Dvořák conducted a concert of the National Theatre orchestra members who created the charity Society.It made it its alm to organize four symphonic concerts every season in Prague. The Society soon came to an end because of an injudicious rebellion against a strict conductor Karel Kovařovic but Czech Philharmonic was re-established on 15 October 1902 on another basis. By the rise of a professional Czech symphonic orchestra ( after the National Muzeum anh the National Theatre) an institution which had been noticeably absent and which in fact finished process of the netional cultural emancipation was created. For several decades Czech Philharmonic was without a regular state support and so it had to rely only the profit from its own concert activity and modest donations from liberal sponsors. It struggled along in demeaning conditions. The orchestra raised money for its activity by giving concerts on long tours around Bohemia because in Prague the demand for classical music was nearly satisfied. In spite of this fact it - often in the last moment - managed to overcome all troubles by combined efforts. Among the conductors of the first period it is necessary to mention Oskar Nedbal, a former viola player of Czech Quartet and an author of many successful operettas, and Ladislav Čelanský. The first period of Czech Philharmonic existance, which can be shortly characterized as a " fight for survival", ended when Václav Talich took office of the principal conductor. Talich was an excellent musician with big experience also in chamber music. He introduced himself by producing Josef Suk ´s composition " Zrání " ( Maturation) . Then he led the orchestra with a firm hand so that it reached an excellent European standard. Although annual tours the country remained still necessary, the Czech Philharmonic orchestra noticeably won recognition abroad and gained a good international reputacion. Talich, who was also the director of the National Theatre at that time, led the orchestra until a difficult period of the Nazi occupation but in 1941 he had to give up his office not to endanger the whole institution in war conditions. Rafael Kubelík, a famous violin virtuoso´s son, replaced Talich. He led Czech Philharmonic until 1948 when he emigrated to protest against current political situation. However, the artistic standard of the orchestra rose even in the conditions of the communist dictatorship. In 1945 Czech cultural world was enriched by a musical festival Prague´s Spring, founded in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Philharmonic´s establishment. The festival gradually became a big world famous musical event. In 1950s, Czech Philharmonic became a large artistic establishment when two choir ensembles and a range of chamber ensemles and soloists joined it. Kubelík handed the reins over to Karel Ančerl. Under his baton a multitude of great gramophone recordings which won many renown international awards arose. Another artist who led Czech Philharmonic was Václav Neuman. He took office in 1968. During his activity the operational range of the orchestra´s foreign travels spread in other countries, especially American, and Czech Philharmonic kept the prestige of a world orchestra, also thanks to many excellent gramophone recordings. After Václav Neuman´s death, Jiří Bělohlávek appeared in the vanguard of Czech Philharmonic. He led orchestra for three years. On 1 1998 Bělohlávek was replaced by Vladimír Ashkenazy, a world famous piano player, who decided on a conductor career. The orchestra profited from his world fame and realized several very successful foreign tours. On 1 August 2003 Zdeněk Mácal, who had already conducted Czech Philharmonic in Prague´s Spring in 1966 and who joined the orchestra after a long emigration, was appointed Ashkenazy´s successor. It is not possible to forget three conductors who
