Vibraphone
Kasal, Jan ; MAZOUROVÁ, Markéta (advisor) ; BARTOŇ, Hanuš (referee)
Particular chapters summarize dividing of idiofons. I wrote about a history
of vibraphone, its very beginnings and I continued with the description of
vibraphone as a musical instrument. The aim of my bachelor thesis is to find
manufacturers of vibraphones all over the world, to list various ways of playing
the instruments, types of drumstick and ways how to hold and use them. I tried
to make a list of the most important and famous vibraphone performers from the
very past until the present, both of the Czech Republic and abroad.
The last chapter describes vibraphone compositions of various pieces of
music. I got a lot of useful information from my melodic instrument lectorers,
especially from vibraphone specialists, performers and students while working on
my thesis. Hopefully vibraphone and other drum instruments which are not
generally known and respected in the Czech Republic soon will be appreciated as
in other countries.
