Alexander Moyzes: Piano Sonata in E minor, op. 2
Čerbová, Zuzana ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
The focus of the bachelor thesis is to examine in closer detail the piano composition Piano Sonata in E minor, op. 2 by the Slovakian composer Alexander Moyzes (1906-1984). This is achieved through the compositional-technical analysis of its printed version that was published during the composer's life, in 1947. The aim is not to place the composition primarily within the historical context as a considerable amount of related sources has been collected; a large space of the work is therefore occupied by the analysis of these sources. Through the detailed study of these the thesis attempts to outline the genesis of the above mentioned composition and briefly comment on the development of Moyzes's compositional activities. Key words: Alexander Moyzes, Sonata, sources, musical analysis

The New Simplicity (in Czech music of the end of the 20th century)
Ledvinka, Martin ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Pudlák, Miroslav (referee)
This study focuses on the specific compositional techniques and approaches that have emerged in the works of some Czech composers since nineteen eighties. Based on analysis of three works by Czech composers the study points out to a compositional use of specific structuring of musical time, which is then confronted with the results of analysis of two works by European (British and Danish) composers. This comparison shows a clear relationship of the trends observed in Czech music and the movement in European and North American music, which tends to be called the new simplicity. In addition to the analyses a great deal of this study is devoted to the historical circumstances of emergence of the new simplicity in Czech music, the specific conditions it had within the context of Czech music and the terminological difficulties associated with this term.

This diploma thesis deals with comparison of five musical pieces of composer Luboš Fišer with fine arts. The thesis is divided in the two parts. In the first part we analyze general art trends in 1960s. We will make reference to the most important trends and personalities, who composed and painted in that age. We will also compare literature, fine art and music in Czech Republic in 1960s, which were the best years of Fišer's work. The second part of the thesis describes in detail five Fišer's pieces, which were composed in 1960s. These are Ruce - Hands (1961), Patnáct listů podle Dürerovy Apokalypsy - Fifteen Prints After Durer's Apocalypse (1965), Caprichos (1966), Double (1969) and Nářek nad zkázou města Ur - Lament over the Ruined Town of Ur (1970). Analysis of those pieces is based on comparison with inspiration sources (Albrecht Dürer: Apocalypse, Francisco Goya: Caprichos, old Sumer text called Lament over the Ruined Town of Ur) or it is based on comparison of Fišer's composition method with fine art piece (Double) or it is analyzed just from the semantic point of view of the piece (Hands). Goal of this work is to present composition of distinguished Czech composer Luboš Fišer to general public using analysis of his pieces. In the future, this work should be used for creation of composer's monograph...
