The analysis of the clarinet spectrum from different manufacturers
Suchánek, Tomáš ; Mojdl, Edgar (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis focuses on spectral analysis of six B clarinets made by manufacturers Buffet Crampon, RZ Woodwind Manufacturing and Yamaha. Instruments were tested by two professional musicians with different timbral preferences and the resulting spectrum is then applied to how psychoacoustic measurements define timbre perception. Furthermore, the impact of different dynamics or reeds is discussed and significant part of analysis also describes directivity patterns of individual higher harmonics or characteristic formant areas.

THE MOST IMPORTANT AUTHORS OF CLARINET ETUDES AND INSTRUCTIVE LITERATURE
Pátek, Matěj ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; VENYŠ, Irvin (referee)
In my bachelor’s thesis, I introduce and subsequently compare six important publications of clarinet instructive literature and their authors, and focus on general problems of practising and performing clarinet etudes.
The first chapter answers the question what is an etude, and contemplates the meaning and means of etude practice. Second chapter briefly introduces selected authors (Cavallini, Jeanjean, Stark, Jettel, Zítek and Žebera), discusses their background and one particular work by each of them. Third chapter offers a comparison of the six selected works based on different aspects of clarinet performance and instructional purposes.
The selection of authors and pieces – a subjective basis of this thesis to some extent – finds objectivity through analysis and comparative method. The output of the thesis is mainly didactic and informative.

Černohouzová, Jana ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; MAREŠ, Vlastimil (referee)
My doctoral thesis "Viktor Kalabis and his production for clarinet focusing chamber music" concentrates on the composer´s chamber pieces for clarinet and other instruments. Overall, I shall be writing about two pieces written during his student years (Suite for clarinet and piano, Sonata for clarinet and piano) and about five pieces with opus numbering (Divertimento for woodwind quintet op. 10, Small Chamber music for woodwind quintet op. 27, Sonata for clarinet and piano op. 30, Suite for clarinet and piano op. 55, Impressions for two clarinets op. 87).
The first chapter of the thesis deals with the composer´s musical inspirations. I speak about the development of Kalabis´composing style and I write about his perception of the individual instruments. The next part deals with the interpreter´s perspective describing how to perform these compositions.
My thesis is divided into chapters dealing with the individual pieces written by Viktor Kalabis. In each chapter I speak the circumstances of origin, musical form and my experience with performing these compositions. I offer different opinions for practice and interpretation. In the course of several years, I cooperated with amazing musicians like, for example, Daniel Wiesner (piano), Jana Jarkovská, Daniel Havel (flute), Jana Kopicová (oboe), Adéla Tribeneklová, Jan Musil (horn, Jana Hudeček (bassoon) and lots of interesting musical ideas came to existence during our cooperation. I compare my findings with other recordings, analyzing their approach and their realizations. This thesis also includes a recording of two pieces without opus numbers, wich became the first recording of these pieces ever.
