Zemková, Martina ; Pivoda, Radomír (advisor) ; Válek, Jiří (referee)
The thesis is focused on the chamber music pieces with flute composed by Bohuslav Martinů. One of the sub-chapters is dedicated to Concert for Flute, Violin and Orchestra, but only because of its close connection to chamber pieces for these instruments. The chapter about the life of Bohuslav Martinů is brief and is focused only on the most important facts from this area. In the second chapter there are sonatas, trios, sextets, nonets, etc. and all those pieces have their own historical ? esthetic commentary, basic info about their origination, manuscripts, issues etc. For chosen pieces (Sonata for Flute, Violin and Piano, Sonata for Flute and Piano, Promenades, Sextet) there is dedicated detailed analysis, especially formal and harmonious analysis. The interpretative problems are also one of the goals I tried to achieve altogether with my points of view of these musical pieces and their interpretation

The introduction to the Bachelor Thesis gives a view of social situation and
musical life in Paris in the 20th century.
The first chapter describes elegance of impressionistic music and examines the
writings by Debussy and by other worthy composers of this period.
The second chapter deals with the creation and significance of the Paris Six (Les
Six) and besides that examines in detail the Sonata for Flute by Fr. Poulenc.
The third chapter gives a view of the most significant concerts of the French
literature in the 20th century, like the I. Ibert?s and A. Jolivet?s concerts.
Furthermore there are the Ibert?s Concert for Flute and Orchestra and its formal analysis included in this chapter.
The composers of the best-known sonatas and sole compositions for flute belong to this musical period. Their work influenced the flute play worldwide. The last part of the third chapter examines creation of the younger generation of composers. Their work diverts from deliciousness and softness of the French aesthetics and employs new expression methods and techniques of flute play.
