Sir Malcolm Arnold. Life and work, focusing on flute repertoire
Reiprich, Oto ; PIVODA, Radomír (advisor) ; VÁLEK, Jiří (referee)
The thesis concerns Malcolm Arnold, one of the most significant English composers of the 20th century, and his favorite instrument - the flute. In the biographical part it focuses on Arnold`s difficult and complicated life, his mental illness and the consequent impact of these facts on his work. It gives special attention to personalities and circumstances which are associated with Arnold`s compositions for flute. The second part involves formal and harmonical analysis of his two concertos for flute and orchestra and the Fantasy for solo flute. I have factored in the influences of different 20th century musical styles - serial methods, jazz, cabaret performances - in his composition techniques. The work is based on my personal interpretation experience.
