Structural elements on music of Miles Davis
Rajnošek, Bharata ; SLOVÁČEK, Antonín (advisor) ; KOP, František (referee)
The thesis "Structural elements on music of Miles Davis" deals with the transformation of the jazz paradigm, briefly touches several crucial moments in the precipitous life of the aforementioned jazz giant and tries to capture at least a few subjectively important moments in his life. The thesis also defines what jazz music means to its author, in brief also author's basic musical preferences. This relates also to his endeavour to grasp the jazz personality phenomenon and within this context also the personality of Miles Davis. The author tries to understand the uniqueness of Davis' contribution and influence on music in general. In a surprising conclusion the beginning of Davis' jazz-rock period emerges as the most important one. The author sees there a fundamental peak - the transformation of the very essence of jazz interpretation - a change in the approach to jazz song themes as the head of the whole composition. The song theme is replaced by a single motive or a phrase. This leads to a shift of live interpretation possibilities and also the most important shift in the development of the jazz paradigm and method of working with structural elements.

Goto, Eri ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (advisor) ; KASÍK, Martin (referee)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is piano Sonata No. 3 in b-minor op. 58 by the Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin. This thesis is divided into three chapters in which I examine what is important for the interpretation of the Sonata. I deal with the question what Chopin intended to express, what his intention was, and based on Chopin´s statements "tone idea" that Chopin requested.Chapter 1 deals with Chopin´s biography and Chopin as a composer, pianist and teacher. Chapter 2 is about the methodics that Chopin himself created and that seems to be essential when interpreting this Sonata. In Chapter 3 I compare three different editions of the Sonata and based on findings from previous chapters I ponder how it is best to perform this Sonata.

Subject for the following work provided the idea of uses cryptogram in music. There are many cryptograms but we will only deal with one and most important, the shape of which gave the name completer of the Baroque era. J. S. Bach was organist and he was and still is an inspiration especially for organists. We deal with the only the compositions for organ which use his cryptogram.
Based on the analysis of several works we want to point out the different ways of working with the same theme and the distinctive style of each composer. We focus on the most famous authors and their works created on the theme B-A-C-H from the Romantic period, i.e. from the rediscovery of Baroque genius.
A part of the work is a complete list of compositions on this theme, which states K. Beckmanns the publication Repertorium Orgelmusik. Its dimension it would certainly be surprising for each.
