The Influence of Moravian Folk Songs on the Piano Compositions of Leoš Janáček , Vítězslav Novák and other Composers for use in the Education Process
Grygarová, Jana ; Tichá, Libuše (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
Moravian folk songs are characteristic by many specifics which make them different from Bohemian folk songs. It is particularly caused by historical context and geographical location. Folk traditions in Moravia go back to the remote past and during its development Moravian folk music went through many changes. What make it so unusual are primarily the preservation of numerous archaisms and enriching of tonal procedures by modal ones - by applying characteristic degrees of individual church modes. The interference of old and more recent elements and indefiniteness of keys are typical features of Moravian folk songs. The individuality of Moravian folk music also shows in its rhythmical side, which is characterized by frequent uneven figures, by distinctive phrasing, etc. The phrasing together with the direction of melodic line are the most impressive in its interpretation. So called fiddle bands, which played in the country, used for the harmonization of songs primarily basic harmonic functions enriched by some uncommon connection of tones, pedals, etc.

The piano music by Čestmír Gregor
Veličková, Magda ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
In my thesis, I introduce a complete list of piano works by Cestmír Gregor, a contemporary Czech composer of modern classical music. 1 have tried to define his compositional techniques and sources of inspiration by analysing the individual pieces of music. I have found that the major features of the author's highly unique style are polyphonic thinking, the development of motives from small nuclei, expressive themes, plastic tunes, inventive work with rhythm, and the absence of a tonal centre which he compensates for by distinctive melodies . The author finds his inspiration in folklore, especially Moravian (Leoš Janácek), the works of Czech interwar avantgarde (Pavel Borkovec) and in jazz (Jaroslav Ježek). His music reflects the emotional states of a man living in the twenty-first century whose life style is predominantly determined by an urban environment. Gregor does not use any of the Musica Nova theories, instead he founded his own music language. The basis for his compositions is communicative music, which follows the patterns of human perceptive psychology. Gregor's concertant compositions are typical for a new instrument stylization and nontraditional attitudes towards instrument virtuosity (playing with a palm, elbow; an unconventional fingering). His piano sonatas and concerts enable the...

The intersection of image and sound
Galajdová, Katarína ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee) ; Bláha, Jaroslav (referee)
The dissertation thesis is an insight into correlations between contemporary artistic modalities in acoustic and visual realms. It discusses the development dependencies and - through the spectrum of fusions and transformations of these realms - it traces forms of perception, the perceptional "patterns" which stem from synaesthesias. It also relates to practices peculiar to synaesthesia, their method of informational feeding intended for educational institutions, in the centre of which is school. It points to relational and inspirational potentialities of disciplines' contexts which are decisive in scholarly discourse on the phenomenon of perception. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
