Carl Nielsen´s late style in works for flute
Pingitzer, Simona ; VÁLEK, Jiří (advisor) ; KVĚCH, Otomar (referee)
Carl Nielsen was the greatest Denmark´s composer who lived from 1865 to 1931. The thesis mentions the development of Nielsen´s composition style beginning with his early music and ending with his mature years of composing. All works are compared comprehensively. In his early years, there is a domination of the elements typical for romantic lyricism, but later on, his composition technique becomes influenced by the progressive styles of the 20th century. The thesis is focused on the composer´s late music, because most of his flute works were written during his mature years. The compositions analysed in detail are following: orchestral work Pan and Syrinx, op.49, a piece for flute solo from the incidental music Aladdin, op.34, three pieces from the incidental music Moderen, op.41, Wind Quintet, op.43, Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, six symphonies and Rhapsody Overture: An Imaginary Trip to the Faroe Islands . On one hand, the analysis of each work is accentuated, but on the other hand, the historical events and facts from Nielsen´s life which affected his compositions are pointed out.

Philippe Gaubert:The Works for Flute and Piano in the Light of performing and aesthetical Aspect
Pingitzer, Simona ; Válek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pivoda, Radomír (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to characterize and describe each work by Philippe Gaubert for flute and piano. It serves as a resource for explanation of the unique idiomatic style of Gaubert´s composing for flute, and it will for sure arouse interest in studying and performing his music.
The technical and performance aspects of the thesis are based on the methodic guide called Méthode Complète de Flûte, whose authors are Paul Taffanel and Philippe Gaubert. The Méthode is a valuable document for the flutists of all ages and levels, and also it is an inevitable basis for a deeper analysis of Gaubert´s flute music. When studying this music it is clear, which aspects of playing were so important for these significant teachers. Firstly, it concentrates on a high-quality tone production as a primary ideal, which is desired by every flutist. Musical elements such as tone colour, technique, dynamics, articulation and phrasing are thoroughly discussed at each Gaubert´s work, using his Méthode as a guide. Each analysis also suggests the level of the work´s difficulty and possible problems with technique, rhythm, tone range and musicality.
