Jakubcová, Anna ; PIVODA, Radomír (advisor) ; VÁLEK, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor.s thesis speaks about works by Johann Sebastian Bach, in which we can find a flute score. It should be a summary . it is necessary to mention the cantatas, masses, brandenburg concertos and also very important flute sonatas. We also talk about works, which are not authentic, but which were for a long time played under Bach?Ls name. I also put the transcriptions into the list, which are now played on the flute (for example Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello Suites BWV 1007-12). This thesis should make easier to find information about these works. Because of the chronological list we can find out the origin and the purpose of the work. Details can be found in certain chapters. You can also find a chapter about Helmuth Rilling and his point of view.

Current situation of czech publishing in alternative and underground music
Kovalová, Terezie ; ŠTILEC, Jiří (advisor) ; BĚLOR, Roman (referee)
This thesis engages the question of whether it is even possible to popularize or proclaim alternative or underground project. For the analysis, I chose five publishers, Minority records , Starcastic , Polí5 , Citysurfer and Quazidelict . Originally I wanted to work also include publishing a happening agency AM180 together with their festival Creepy Teepee, but despite my repeated attempts I failed to contact its founders. After some research, I estabilished, that this community does not want to be externally presented and resists any publicity in the mainstream media.
Thesis is elaborated in an unconventional way, due to the absolute lack of information about all of these publishing companies, both in printed and online media, I decided to use form of a personal interview. Therefore I would also like to apologize for slang expression used by persons involved in these interviews. It illustrates the world which is discussed. In order to confront ideas, for all the interviews I used the very similar set of questions, that were altered depending on the specialization of the publisher.

The Way of Financing the Selected Czech Orchestras in Comparation with Selected European Orchestras
Moravec, Jaroslav ; ŠTILEC, Jiří (advisor) ; BĚLOR, Roman (referee)
The purpose of this study is to explore the issues of financing selected Czech orchestras and to confront these economy mechanisms, which are well established in the Czech Republic, with some European orchestras. As the representatives of the Czech environment, I selected six orchestras in total; they are Czech Philharmonic, Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK, Brno Philharmonic, Pilsen Philharmonic, Janáčkova Filharmonie Ostrava, and PKF - Prague Philharmonia. Then, from Europe, I paid attention to the orchestras which are either close to the Czech environment in terms of history or area, or inspiring for us for various reasons. Specifically, I work with the following orchestras: Berliner Philharmoniker, Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the British London Symphony Orchestra, and Slovenská filharmónia. The goal of this study is to create an overview of economy characteristics of all these Czech and European orchestras, to compare these ways and evaluate them.

Annotation in English
My graduation work talking about the Czech string quartets shows the
description about the most important and in my opinion the most successful
string quartets in the Czech Republic that has strongly influenced the way of
musical apperance of the contemporary string quartets in the CR.
I am putting into my graduation work the information about the Czech string
quartet chronologically in the historical order starting with the Czech String
Quartet.
My intention is, also, to provide the information about the job activities of the
Czech contemporary string quartets that are representing the Czech culture and
the musical tradition abroad.
I am observing, through my graduation work, the way how the Czech string
quartets change the musical interpretations that has been changed after several
decades.
However, there are no doubt that the Czech string quartets are still representing
our country abroad.

The Bass as a Manifestation of Periodicity in Music
Esterle, Vojtěch ; MRKVIČKA, Luboš (advisor) ; HOŘÍNKA, Slavomír (referee)
This paper defines the function of the bass as the basis of harmonic hierarchy at first. After that the different forms of the bass in particular
periods of time are followed. Then the problem of suppressing a bass in avant-garde music of the 20th century is brought forward; its new comeback is found in the minimal and the spectral music. The thesis is based on the concept of the affinity of principles which are responsible for the harmonic and the rhythmic hierarchy; this is the reason why the bass function can emerge also in a form of the rhythmic pulsation.
