Kux, Martin ; Janál, Roman (advisor) ; Kaupová, Helena (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I am analyzing the music cycle of Robert Schumann "The Poetś Love" . Theresearch deals with the cycle from the music, lyric and comparative interpretation point of view. The thesis discovers private and work life of the composer. Schumann´s work focuses mainly on piano composition, which is also mentioned in the thesis, and song composition, themost fruitful period of which began in 1840. The thesis also encompasses the treatise abour Heinrich Heine, on who´s lyrics the cycle was composed. I also talk briefly about the cooperation between two artists. Schumann´s everlasting ispiration was his wife Clara Schumann. Besides the deep love to Clara, the clear expresson and related timeliness, which we can constantly discover, reflected in his artistic message. In the thesis we are mentioning original names in German for particular songs, translations in Czech, made by various authors. In interpretation comparison based on the recording we see mainly the benefit from the point of different views and dramatically grasp of the cycle, which is, to my mind, very important for the singers.
