Breathing when playing the brass instruments
Žáková, Petra ; SUŠICKÝ, Jiří (advisor) ; MALIMÁNEK, Karel (referee)
In my diploma thesis I deal with breathing when playing the brass instruments. In the first chapter called Process of Breathing I describe the respiratory system, its breathing mechanism and a separate breathing process with the main emphasis on the types of breathing, control of breathing and a lung capacity. Subsequently I occupy with the breathing process when playing, it means with breathing in cooperation with creation of tones, embouchure, activity of tongue and with the finger technique. In the second chapter I mention some important brass players and teachers of the breathing in brass instrumental music; the view of the East Cultures on ordinary breathing is also supplemented to this overview. In the third chapter I quote some methods of breathing development. Firstly I focus on the evolution and usage of various types of breathing, secondly on the methods of breathing development. This chapter includes many breathing exercises done with or without an instrument, which should lead to liberty and speed of inhalation and smoothness and holding of exhalation. The exercises help to the complete fastening of the muscles of respiration.

Přibík, Jiří ; Malimánek, Karel (advisor) ; Divoký, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sušický, Jiří (referee)
The work is about activies of Central band of the Czech army in 2005-2010 and about reforms military music service. The reforms of military music service realized in the recent 20years and abolishment of most of military bands can be considered an almost complete extinction of Czech and Slovak military music culture and tradition of brass music, which have been formed for centuries by our outstanding army conductors and composers and which is recognized until our days in the whole world. These personalities spread brass music and its tradition as we know it from Russia, Bulgaria and states of the former Yugoslavia round Europe. Military conductors Julius Fučík, Karel Komzák and son Karel Komzák, Rudolf Piskáček, Franz Lehár (father of the famous composer of operettas), Bohumil Vejvoda (uncle of Jaromíra Vejvoda), Václav Voskovec (father of Jiří Voskovec), Rudolf Nováček (composer of march Castaldo), Jindřich Praveček and Adolf Scherbaum world trumpet virtuous are just few examples of many who helped to develop this tradition for hundreds of years. It is true that after the fall of communism and joining the NATO our country is not under the immediate threat of the war and it is natural, that numbers of soldiers and armed forces are getting lower. But to let extinct the important part of our music culture is almost inexcusable. Central Band of the Army of the Czech Republic and the Military band of Olomouc are the last representatives of military brass band and we cannot be sure what the future of these bands and all music culture will be. At present, when whatever tradition is of no value for or state, music is more a burden for state finances. We are living in time of media, data and music data carriers and it is possible that because of all these savings the foreign delegation will be welcomed with reproduced music and when we go to see a ballet performance there will play reproduced music.
