Vliv variability stavby rezonančního dřeva na jeho akustické vlastnosti
Schwarzer, Martin
This work was the structure of resonant spruce wood devoted to. The tree-ring widths and summer wood measure were measured. By use of non - destructive methods their acoustic properties were measured - speed of sound, acoustic constant, logarithmic decrement of damping, acoustic wave resistance, wood - density and Young's modulus. Data were statistically analyzed and the wood structure coefficient of variation for each specimen was calculated. There were three different methodologies for verification of the wood structure variability effect formulated. Subsequently, it was found that it is possible to determine the effect on the acoustic properties of the wood macroscopic structure variability.

Ivan Galamian's Pedagogical Legacy
Snyder, Ian John ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (advisor) ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (referee)
Ivan Galamian's formidable reputation as a violin teacher is internationally recognized. Many of the world's outstanding violinists studied with him at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia or The Juilliard School in New York City, and their fame perpetuates his. At the same time, very little is known about Galamian's early years, his exact methods on the violin, his nature as a teacher, and the general question of how he accomplished such outstanding results with his students. This lack of awareness is the case in the United States, where many of his students are aging or deceased. Members of the youngest generation of violinists tend to have only a vague awareness of his writings and perhaps familiarity with his scale method - even if they are close to Galamian in the "family tree" of violinists. This lack of awareness appears to be even more the case in Europe, whose music schools and orchestras are less likely to contain Galamian students (though they certainly do).
The goal, then, of this thesis is to shed much-needed light on the extraordinary life, thoughts, and teaching of Galamian. The reader should come away with an increased awareness of an important life in the history of the instrument, greater awareness of key technical points on the instrument, and an understanding of what made Galamian - and could make any aspiring teacher - great. There is also an attempt to provide balanced criticism of Galamian's method so that the reader may see what did not work in his teaching and so that our awareness of Galamian is not simply as a mythic figure but as a fully three-dimensional participant in the history of the violin.
