I described the historical context of that epoch. The description in the second chapter is of the development of the instrument and the events connected with it, similarly as in the previous chapter, but it is situated into classicism.

It deals with the Prague conservatory from its founding up until now. The last part of the thesis offers the readers a list of the best Czech horn players of the 20th and 21st centuries. In my thesis I tried to describe the evolution of the instrument in detail and put it in context with socio-cultural...
