He highlights the composer´s organisation skills ( the ensemble " Music of Today, the international festival of modern music in Smolenice modelled by the Darmstadt Internationa Summer Courses for New Music), which provided him the contacts and finally enabled his emigration to West after the invasion of the troop of the Warsaw pact in Czechoslovakia in august 1968.An important place in the thesis is occupied by the chapter dealing with the stylistic transfomation of the composer from atonal and serialistic composition to traditional, tonal way of composing with the use of consistent motivic work. In the following chapter the author deals with formal and harmonic analysis of the selected works of L. Kupkovič for violoncello from his tonal period. The analyses are illustrated by note examples of parts of the works. Kupkovi´č memoirs served as a valuable source of information for the author ; however, they have not been published yet. Another important source was the personal consultation with the composer.
