Rumler, Daniel ; TOMÁŠEK, Jiří (advisor) ; Štajnochrová, Adéla (referee)
My paper called Bohuslav Martinů: Second Violin Concerto, original name Concerto pour violon, is divided into five chapters of different lenght and content. The paper firstly provides general information on how the concert was composed, its rendition, recordings and portrayal of the author?s thoughts. This is followed by an in-depth analysis focusing on the formal side of the composition. It was not my aim here to analyse note after note, but to comment on the basic tectonic features and point out the most interesting parts of the score. In these chapters I also pay due attention to the harmonic side, which is a significant component of Martinů?s musical expression. To conclude, I provide some practical information regarding the solo part and its study.

Černohouzová, Jana ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; MAREŠ, Vlastimil (referee)
My Bachelor Thesis "Clarinet´s Concertant Pieces by Viktor Kalabis" is aimed on life and work of Viktor Kalabis. The first part of my Bachelor Thesis deals with composer´s career and life reflecting into his work. In the second part I write about evolving of his compositional technique and about factors that affected it. Subsequently I mention pieces for clarinet that I divide into two groups. The first of them contains pieces without opus number; these were not determined by the composer to be performed. With more details I write about pieces with opus number that extend contemporary clarinet repertoire. Mainly I deal with interpretation issue of his work for clarinet. In particular analysis of these pieces I wanted to point on progress of his compositional technique and also on Kalabis? characteristic methods that stay still the same.
