This master´s thesis has the main purpose in Kocian Quartet, one of the best Czech ensembles during the last four decades. I write about the group´s rise and prograss during the years. I describe wide concert activities, special projects, recording and pedagogical activities. The important and valuable are lists of discography, repertoir, premieres, broadcast recordings, abroad tours, public shows, which are attached. Quartet´s first violinist Pavel Hůla and quarte´s violoncellist Václav Bernášek have helped me during the formation of this work. They have been describing from the ensemble´s history to me personally. All the informations are therefore more than authentic. The Kocians gave me source materials ( concert´s programms, posters, reviews, photos etc.), which are also presented.

This bachelor thesis has the main purpose in Wihan Quartet, one of the best
nowadays string quartet. I write about the group's rise, its successes in
competitions, wide concert, recording and pedagogical activities. The list of
repertoir and discography is included. Leos Cepicky, the quartet's first violinist,
has helped me during the formation of this work. He has been describing
everything from the ensemble's history to me personally. All the informations are
therefore more than authentic. The Wihans gave me source materials (concerts'
programms, reviews from the newspapers and magazines, photos etc.), which
are also presented. Among others I took informations from the Wihans'
documentary DVD by the director Alice Nellis, which was made on the occasion of
the complete concert performance of the Beethoven's string quartets in 2008.
DVD is attached.
