SPANISH PIANO LITERATURE AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
Valčová, Lucie ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (advisor) ; MALÝ, František (referee)
The main idea of this diploma thesis is to provide a brief historical overview of the main Spanish composers for keyboard instruments from the 16th to 20th century, their influence on the major European composers and their relation to Spanish national dances, songs and guitar techniques. The thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter contains the historical overview and is split into three subchapters according to the period: 16th to 18th century, 1st half of 19th century and 2nd half of 19th century to 1st half of 20th century. The second chapter comprises the selection of European composers and examples of their works encompassing apparent influence of Spanish music. The third chapter deals with guitar techniques, based on which the Spanish piano works are built. And finally, the fourth chapter of this thesis provides a summary of basic Spanish dances and songs including examples of note scores.

Joaquín Rodrigo - A Journey to Fame
Czuczor, Patrik ; ZELENKA, Milan (advisor) ; RAK, Štěpán (referee)
My Bachelors Thesis called Joaguín Rodrigo - A journey to fame originated mainly from some translations from publucations in foreing languages ( most often from english or spanish). This choice of personality of Joaguín Rodrigo as a theme of my work was just a logical, because his most favourite work - Concerto for guitar and orchestra called Concierto de Aranjuez is in every respect the most played and can say also the best composition for the instrument which I follow up. I have already describe the circumstances which led me to narrow down the theme to the certain - relativela short - period of composers life in preface: Joaguín Rodrigo lived for very long time and therefore it is very complicated to find suitable literature about his personality and his works, so I described specially that period of his life which is in my opinion the most interesting for me as well as for some other readers, so this tima which prevented creation of already mentioned Concierto de Aranjuez after which he became famous very quickly ( hence the neme : J.R. - A journey to fame). I think, my Bachelors Thesis may be very useful especially for those who are, the same as me, interested in the personality and Works of Joaguín Rodrigo, possible to other celebrities associated with the Spanish culture that the text is also mentioned in connection with my topic. The main contribution of my work is, in my opinion that I sought a lot of information in foreing publications, which are not currently available to virtually all and I got quite a lot of musical and other illustrations, which can also be extremely difficult to get.
