Antonin Dvorak - violin concerto a moll, op. 53
Středová, Iva ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (advisor) ; KOTMEL, Bohumil (referee)
The first part of this bachelor´s thesis is dedicated to the life and work of Antonín Dvořák, the legend of Romanticism. The paper describes his activities since the early village musicianship through the work in Prozatimní divadlo to the composition of his supreme pieces. The text also mentions his title ?doctor honoris causa?, which he was given by the University of Cambridge. Except for the three years of him directing the New York Conservatory, he acted as the artistic director of the Prague Conservatory. Antonín Dvořák is now worshiped as one of the gratest composers of his time.
The second part of the thesis presents the proceedure of composing of the Violin concert A minor, op. 53, which today undoubtedly forms a main part of the essential repertory of this kind of composition. Dvořák´s concert is surely one of the most convincing pieces in the concert area. The text then focuses on the analysis of the piece and the comparison of the concert records produced by three international interprets.

Compositions of Igor Stravinsky for Violin
Skalický, Ondřej ; PAZDERA, Jindřich (advisor) ; MATOUŠEK, Bohuslav (referee)
The topic of my thesis is life and work of Igor Stravinsky with norrow focus on compositions for violin. I give greater emphasis to compositions Concerto in D for Violin and Orchestra and the Italian suite with which I have personal experience. Igor Stravinsky composed most of the compositions in the 1930th in cooperation with the violinist Samuel Duskin. Only a few of them are completely original works. The author often used musical themes from his own previously composed ballets, such as the The Firebird, Petrushka, The Soldier's Tale, Pulcinella, or Fairy's Kiss.
Composer Igor Stravinsky is certainly a controversial figure. Though essentially a pragmatist, he was always directed more by instinct while creating music. I would like to present to not only violinists interesting circumstances of compositions, even though is still little available informations.

Leoš Janáček - Sonata for Violin and Piano
Takahashi, Hiroko ; TOMÁŠEK, Jiří (advisor) ; PAZDERA, Jindřich (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is Sonata for violin and piano by the Czech composer Leoš Janáček. This thesis briefly deals with Janáček´s biography and his way of composing ( see Chapter 1), the position of this Sonata among other Janáček´s works, the background of its creation and perception of the Sonata and Janáček´s as a composer in Japan ( see Chapter 2) and Janáček´s other violin works ( see Chapter4). Moreover, based on an analysis of the Sonata and listening to recordings of its five different performances I prepared my own interpretation ( see Chapter 3) which I played during the bachelor concert on March 10th 2012.I think that this thesis and the performance of the Sonata during the bachelor concert may become the inspiration for the next possible interpretation of this Sonata.
