Vladimír Sommer belongs to the most interesting and significant personalities among Czech composers of the 20th century, his work has not been performed very frequently, though. His Concerto for Cello and Orchestra is a piece almost not known by Czech cellists, which was the greatest motivation to dedicate this thesis to this composition. The first part of the dissertation brings the composer?s biography, a brief characteristic of his work (including a more detailed view on his most important pieces) and a complete list of his compositions. The key part of the thesis is introduced by the history of creation and performing of the piece also being compared with other Sommer?s compositions and presented in the context of his work in general. Then there comes the analysis of each of the three movements of the Concerto and a conclusion of the analysis. The next part presents author?s subjective view on the interpretation of the recording the thesis is based on. In conclusion, there is described the benefit of the work on the dissertation to the author, same as the benefit it would hopefuly bring to other readers.

My Bachelor Thesis "Clarinet´s Concertant Pieces by Viktor Kalabis" is aimed on life and work of Viktor Kalabis.

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.
