Slimáková, Zuzana ; Pazdera, Jindřich (advisor) ; Pazdera, Jindřich (advisor) ; Tomášek, Jiří (referee) ; Štraus, Ivan (referee)
in my bachelor´s diploma thesis I write about pieces, which W.A.Mozart wrote for violin. In first chapter I mention relationship between Mozart and violin, his start in understanding this string instrument, then we go to a brief opening about Mozartś life and afterwards we shortly go over the chronologic succession of some of his pieces of music. His work with the use of violin is immense, so in the two following chapters I restricted this range only to several pieces, namely, violin concerts and several violin sonatas with piano.

History of the Prague Symphony Orchestra and it´s representative concertmasters
Vrabcová, Monika ; Štraus, Ivan (advisor) ; Štraus, Ivan (advisor) ; Tomášek, Jiří (referee) ; Pazdera, Jindřich (referee)
FOK. The notion which have marked the awareness of concert visitors, record collectors or even cinema lovers with an indelible trace in the decades of its existence... A Cinderella who, due to admirable human efforts, passed through necessary imperfections of early youth, turbulent growing up, melancholy of middle age, betrayals of fate and passions of society, and blossomed into mature and spiritual beauty. The ensemble, originally created as a last resort for unemployed musicians, have managed to gain respect on an international scale in the course of time and it united a whole range of the most renowned conductors and soloist names with the memory of cooperation. As a loyal companion of Prague, it has kept being sucked into the vortex of the city's history, celebrating triumphs, being shaken by downfalls, it has been tempered by fate itself as well as it has tempered with the fates of others, it has always represented an enticing challenge for many biographers. It is, therefore, a major theme of the whole range of already published writings. In the area of biographical data described so much in detail, one can hardly produce new, so far unknown information. Nevertheless, I think that a view from the inside, through the optics of my own interpretative experience as an deputy concertmaster, could enrich the available literature by many observations, however subjective they may necessarily be.
The study describes the winding paths of fate, along which the orchestra's history has passed in the course of long years. It illuminates the ambience of pioneer beginnings, the formation of the ensemble under almost garage conditions, it maps out the ?Golden Age?, when favourable circumstances brought the best opportunities for artistic development and for an establishment of our reputation both on the domestic and international scenes. It mentiones in greater detail 3 significant organiser and conductor personalities: Dr. Rudolf Pekárek,
Dr. Václav Smetáček and Jiří Bělohlávek, whose contributions were fundamental to the orchestra's development. In the chapter ?foreign concert tours?, readers will learn about the almost ridiculous influence of political pressures of the communist powers-that-be on the form of guest performances abroad and on the comfort of the musicians. The central points of the work are sections dealing with concertmasters. Some of the personalities, who held this post in the orchestra in the past, reminiscence in an interesting way about their activity in the orchestra FOK and they give us their own opinion about the ideal of a concertmaster. Through the words of his widow, Mrs. Míla Smetáčková, even the legendary chief conductor Václav Smetáček comes to express his opinion; the FOK was his fate for the whole 30 years. The conclusion of the work reveals partly the contemporary situation while anticipating the future and mentions extraordinary dramaturgical and marketing ideas, which help the orchestra to face the adversities of the present age, unkind to its own culture.

Hložková, Hana ; Pazdera, Jindřich (advisor) ; Pazdera, Jindřich (advisor) ; Snítil, Václav (referee) ; Štraus, Ivan (referee)
In 2004 I have participated in " Louis Spohr" Competition in Weimar, which inspired me in choice of the theme for my thesis. Compositions of Louis Spohr are seldom played in our country, and it´s also difficult to find huis name in Czech books. Nevertheless, Louis Spohr gave a lot of new and practical to musicians. He helped to conductors and orchestra with numbers in the score for better orientation and to violinists with a chinrest and new numbering of positions, which is used until today.

Slimáková, Zuzana ; Pazdera, Jindřich (advisor) ; Štraus, Ivan (referee) ; Kotmel, Bohumil (referee)
Anotation
The second most personal specialization of Antonín Dvořák is chambre music filled with lots of thoughtful values and precise composing. I have chosen several pieces to write about I consider highly valuable from an enormous amout of his great work. I am not using the elaborate reviews of his work, the aim of this work is more focused on overal overview of Dvořák?s life when he was working on these pieces of chambre music, on the conditions he lived in, during which the world had changed and also certainly affected his work. We can find slovanian features within the whole Dvořák?s work, it is either in the form of dances, instrumentation or simple features of harmony. I thoroughly searched for these features in the chosen works and these are put into the sample overview. There is also the publishing of the pieces ? publishing notes which attracted me with the original sound and small differences from the author?s handwriting. In the end there is mentioned a few looks at Dvořák?s work by famous authors.

The aim of the bachelor thesis Jaromír Weinberger, Life and Work is to offer basic facts about a practically unknown (though important) Czech composer. The text presents probably the most comprehensive list of literature that can be used as a good starting point in later researches. The most extensive part of the work includes biographical data that have not been published in the Czech language in this scope yet. The most important compositions along with the crucial moments of Jaromír Weinberger´s life are mentioned here. Among others special attention is paid to his best known opera Švanda dudák. The work also contains a survey of compositions for violin and piano, as well as a short musical analysis of three parts of České písně a tance for these instruments with some basic aspects of the Weinberger's style. The thesis is finished with personal evaluation of Jaromír Weinberger´s work in the context of the Czech musical culture.
