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
