Motivation at the Piano
Németh Čabalová, Ivana ; MALÝ, František (advisor) ; LEICHNER, Emil (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to analyse the process of the motivation related to the artistic activitie, specifically the piano in all its breadth. Introduction of this thesis is devoted to pure motives that led to deal with this issue. The ending of this thesis is conceptually the same as the introduction and it has the space for the author's personal contribution and feelings that have become the core for all the work, without which the topic of this work certainly would not arouse the author's attention and would not become the topic. The work is clearly built in two sections.
The first is theoretical, which aims to build a clear view of all important psychological terms that are related to motivation, and without these the work would be hardly uniform and would not show a view to sort out the issue. More details define motivation terminology, explain the differences between categories, which could easily blend into confusion, and attempt to systematize the entire hierarchy of used definitions. In the second part there is the issue of motivation applied exclusively to piano as a single level. The proceed is clear, from chapters about young children and their understanding ability, to chapters about adult pianists and individuals in any role related to the piano, just who has an active attitude to the instrument.
The second part aims at a comprehensive insight on the development of artistic personality, whether professional

On the Question of transcendent Time in Music
Míšek, Jakub ; TICHÝ, Vladimír (advisor) ; MATOUŠEK, Vlastislav (referee)
The concern of this thesis is the relationship between music and time, more precisely a specific kind of temporality, which is known as transcendent, sacred, sacral or "the third" time. This text is meant to be an introduction into the subject matter. At first the relationship between musical and non-musical time is discussed. Then the phenomenon of transcendent time is put into the relationship with theories of musical time presented by other, both Czech and foreign, authors. The last part of this paper contains an exemplary listing of composer strategies which can help in inducing an experience of transcendent time. These strategies are demonstrated on songs and compositions originating in different genres and cultures.

Music Performance Anxiety and Its Prevention in the Education System
Stevanović, Ena ; KRAJNÝ, Boris (advisor) ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (referee)
Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a specific type of anxiety that appears in musicians when they are called to perform in front of others. Mayor causes of MPA are competitive nature of this profession, desire to reach perfection in interpretation, presence of critics and the audience and strong need to control those mental functions that are affected the most by stage fright (such as memory, concentration and muscle coordination). Many authors believe that cognitive factors are the most important for explaination of MPA, especially negative automatic thoughts that appear shortly before the performance. Those dysfunctional thoughts are deforming reality. They are emotionally disturbing and they are affecting performance artistic value. The most effective solutions for this problem are psychological treatment and counceling (identification of emotions and thoughts) and short-term and long-term practicing organization. Education system emphasizes importance of correct ways of memorizing and development of notions and music conception.

The psychological aspects of music in the development of individual
VRBOVÁ, Zuzana
The Work deals with the therapeutic effects of music on mental and somatic component of the individual from the historical and contemporary perspective. There are three musical levels, the psychological, therapeutic and alternative one, whereas the work is based on the Western concept of music. The point of departure is knowledge of music psychology on human perception of music and the structure of musical composition. I use the knowledge of music therapy in applying the music elements on mental, physical and spiritual human level. The superstructure is made by alternative views on using music in a therapeutic context. Special space is devoted to combination of music and the brain and the influence of music on development of cognitive component of human personality.
