Bělohoubek, Martin ; Sládek, Libor (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
In recent years the guitar has belonged to the most popular instruments. Its influence reaches many countries, where it has found its new home. It is most significant in music styles such as blues, rock and country. It is evident that these styles would not develop without the guitar. The work deals with the impact of the guitar and guitar players on the history of styles, looks into techniques of various guitarists and classifies them into the history of genres. One chapter is devoted to riff, the melodic sequence, which influenced the thinking of rock musicians in a fundamental way. Guitarists have gradually become heroes, attracting masses of listeners. Consequently, their popularity is used in advertising in order to promote certain goods. For this reason the theme of advertisement has been introduced. The final chapter of this work focuses on the practical use of the instrument in music lessons and presents drafts of song guitar accompaniments.

This thesis deals with the contribution of Belarusian composers to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire. The aim of this is to highlight important role of authors from Belarusian guitar school in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarusian context. The first part of this thesis focuses on the works of professional composers composing for guitar, as well as the works of Belarusian guitarplayers-composers.Also, I systematised published ,usic material and methodological publications regarding guitar, from the historically first guitar anthology in Belarus till today. In the second part, I analysed chosen guitar composition of Belarusian author - the Concert for guitar , strings and bells from Galina Gorelova.
While determining the contribution of Belarusian composers to guitar repertoire, I first researched the background of professional guitar education and interpretation in Belarus in soviet times. These are the roots of madern professional guitar composer school. The work of particular composers has been analysed based on their interpretation, pedagogic and composer activity in historical and music - cultural context.
I analysed the Concert for guitar, strings and bells in three parts from G. Gorelova from the point of view of guitar part, its role in this composition, dramaturgical content and musical form.I managed to systematise the work of Belarusian composers- guitar players and non - guitar players, as well as publishing of their opuses and compositions, and to include them into a broader context of Belarusian guitar school development.
The benefit of work lies in highlighting the role of Belorusia composers in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarus. Based on data ascertaned, it is possible to contend that Belarusian guitar players and composers contribute significantly to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire.
