The music education system in Bohemia and Switzerland
Peková, Zuzana ; ERICSSON, Mikael (advisor) ; STRAŠIL, Tomáš (referee)
In my diploma thesis The Music Education System in Bohemia and Switzerland, I try to delineate the general picture of the development of music education in these countries from its beginnings, for the time when it has gone through the greatest and most important changes, up to the present, where I describe the current state and structure of musical education. Undoubtedly, the main impulse which has driven me to choose this topic has been my recent stay in Switzerland. Thanks to the Swiss Mobility program, I was given the opportunity to study music at a university in Luzern, where I spent the entire academic year, so I had enough time to learn about the local school system. As a result of my personal experience, I decided to find and write information that could provide readers an opportunity to compare our familiar system of schooling in Bohemia with such a specific and unique system of education as the one they have in Switzerland. Musical education in Czech republic has a very strong tradition and still enjoys a great deal of popularity in the present day . In the part concerning the development of musical education in our country, I focused especially on the period of struggle for the introduction and the form of the subject of music in curricula, which has been led in the past century by professors of music and other important personalities of the then Czech music scene. In contrast, in the part dealing with education in Switzerland, my intention was to introduce the overall form of the education system of the country, despite the fact that its scheme often differs greatly within the cantons. Due to these numerous differences and also the limited scope of this work, I have focused on describing the most significant dissimilarities in teaching music in the main Swiss cantons. In making my decision to choose this topic I was captivated by the fact that there are only a small number of publications on Swiss education in our country and, if they exist, they include information only up to the 1980s. This has confirmed my belief that my work could be of real benefit to all potential students of music in Switzerland and to the Czech music public in general.

Vladimír Sommer: Concerto for Cello and Orchestra (1979)
Škodová, Judita ; PETRÁŠ, Miroslav (advisor) ; STRAŠIL, Tomáš (referee)
Vladimír Sommer belongs to the most interesting and significant personalities among Czech composers of the 20th century, his work has not been performed very frequently, though. His Concerto for Cello and Orchestra is a piece almost not known by Czech cellists, which was the greatest motivation to dedicate this thesis to this composition. The first part of the dissertation brings the composer?s biography, a brief characteristic of his work (including a more detailed view on his most important pieces) and a complete list of his compositions. The key part of the thesis is introduced by the history of creation and performing of the piece also being compared with other Sommer?s compositions and presented in the context of his work in general. Then there comes the analysis of each of the three movements of the Concerto and a conclusion of the analysis. The next part presents author?s subjective view on the interpretation of the recording the thesis is based on. In conclusion, there is described the benefit of the work on the dissertation to the author, same as the benefit it would hopefuly bring to other readers.
