Slavík, Jiří ; Velek, Luboš (referee) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
The presented thesis [expanded diploma work] is introducing historical sonde into the daily life and also the interesting fates of the ancient Skrivan - Binko's tanner family. The family lived in eastern Bohemian small market - town Krucemburk on Bohemian - Moravian Uplands. We happen to be witnesses of gradual transformation of the country craft shop and manufactory business into the modern industrial enterprise during the space of time dated from the first half of the 17th century till the communism taking up period when family trade was completely nationalized [1948]. Simultaneously the reader is acquainted with the individual significant personalities of the tanner family. Through the passed centuries they had been excellent as far as the community management control, enlightenment, politics, culture and visual arts are concerned. The special attention is dedicated to the up to now neglected subjects - urban planning and building development of the small town, changes of the country landscape, material culture.

DUETS IN JAZZ MUSIC. HISTORY, DEVELOPEMENT.
Uhrík, Rastislav ; SLAVÍK, Jiří (advisor) ; Nejtek, Michal (referee)
In this master ́s thesis l am trying to bring closer one very specific form of jazz
interpretation which is playing in duo and from my very personal point of view, as a bass
player, to focus on specific aspects of duo performance.
I've chosen music of Charlie Haden as the essence for the thesis, because acoustic bass
is my main instrument and also because Haden could initiate duo or rather be part of
duos in other musician ́s projects. I wanted to compare differences between specific
duos according to historical or aesthetical character.

JAZZ QUARTETS WITHOUT HARMONIC INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATIONS FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY TO THE PRESENT TIME
Kalfus, Petr ; SLAVÍK, Jiří (advisor) ; SOUKUP, Luboš (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe and map the development of the phenomenon of a jazz quartet not containing a harmonic instrument and consisting of two wind instruments, a double bass, and drums from its beginnings in the second half of the 20th century to present day.
My second goal is to point out historic transformations of style and changes in the roles of individual instruments from the point of view of composition on the one hand and interpretation and interaction within the band on the other. The practical section of the thesis demonstrates these transformations by showing specific examples in transcriptions. The last but not least of my objectives is to describe how this format reflects in my own musical activities and my personal techniques of both composition and interpretation.
