Chapters from nowaday piano life
Uhlík, Jakub ; Klánský, Ivan (advisor) ; Lapšanský, Marian (referee)
Abstract :
While thinking about my diploma thesis I sequentially came to the conclusion, that it will be better to concentrate on more issues , so that I could mention the things, which interest me. I believe that these chapters may give an answer and show the reader some problems, difficulties and also the beauties of contemporary life of the pianist. My thesis should not be considered as a guide book giving simple instructions. It should be an interesting databank of my opinions and insights, wich could reader freely polemize and can work with. The aim of the thesis is not to provide an exhaustive summary of the contemporary pianist?s experiences. However it is written in the form of reflections, critiques and short essays during 2010 and 2011. I am trying to hit the merits, which I consider interesting and stimulating for others.

The Piano Pieces op.116 and op.118 by Johannes Brahms
Arendárik, Matej ; Lapšanský, Marian (advisor) ; Klánský, Ivan (referee)
Johannes Brahms (May 7, 1833 - April 3, 1897) famous german composer and pianist, was born in Hamburg. He is one of the leading persons of Romantic era. Brahms lived much of his professional life in Vienna, where he was very popular. He is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. Brahms wrote for piano solo, orchestral music, chamber music and for voice and chorus. As great pianist, he was the first performer of many of his piano works. He had many friends including the famous composer Robert Schumann and his wife, great pianist Clara Schumann or violinist Joseph Joachim. Brahms was perfectionist. He destroyed many works. His music is firmly rooted in the forms and compositional techniques of the old masters like Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. I focused on his late piano works - Pieces for piano op. 116 and 118.

W. A. Mozart: Piano concerto No. 20, d minor, KV 466
Fančovič, Peter ; Lapšanský, Marian (advisor) ; Bilinská, Kvitoslava (referee) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
In this work I tried to analyse Mozart´s piano concerto in d minor on the basis of the knowledge I achieved so far.
In the introduction, I mentioned my motivation for writing this paper.
The first chapter is a brief look into the life of Mozart, particularly to his childhood, which was essential for the development of his personality.
In the second chapter, I sketched out a list of Mozart´s piano concertos and added a few notes about the circumstances under which the concertos were composed as well as interesting facts about their formal structure.
However, it´s only a brief description that serves mainly as an introduction to the third chapter.
In this chapter, I was solely concerned with the concerto in d minor. The chapter begins with a short passage about how this concerto was composed and about its premier performance.
The next four sub- chapters contain an analysis of each movement along with a discussion about the cadences.
The fourth and fifth chapters discusses two interesting aspects related to the d minor concerto the use of the pedal that Mozart may have used while performing this concerto and the use of basso continuo.
At the end of my paper I wrote about the significance of adhering to the musical text with possible conseqenses that accompany a performer that does not follow the composer`s instructions. Another issue my conclusion adresses is the opposite; when a pianist becomes a slave of the musical text.
My paper is concluded with a list of works cited.
