R. Wagner - Wesendonck Lieder - interpretative view
Morozová, Tamara ; HAJÓSSYOVÁ, Magdaléna (advisor) ; JONÁŠOVÁ, Jana (referee)
In the work of Richard Wagner, which is constituted almost exclusively from
operatic pieces, song cycle "Wesendonck Lieder" is the greatest rarity.
Nevertheless, the cycle of five songs takes honorable place in his work and is
often interpreted. It is particularly interesting that the cycle stands on the
beginning of Wagner's seeking of his mature musical language. We can find all
the elements of his style in these songs, on a much smaller space than we used
to.
The purpose of this thesis is not to describe composer's life escapades or to draw
up a register of his compositions. This thesis aims for explaination of the
circumstances of the cycle creation and show importance of this songs for
Wagner's artistic growth. The main part is devoted to my own interpretative view
of cycle, which was prepared to perform on my bachelor's concert.

Bártek, Michael ; ČERNÝ, Pavel (advisor) ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (referee)
The Czech organist Michael Bártek presents the thesis Richard Wagner and the organ. Penetration of the Work of the Genius from Bayreuth into the Music for Organ as a graduate master thesis in studies on musical faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
This thesis concerns itself with the relationship between Richard Wagner and the organ, a relation which is, despite no specific composition from the maestro for organ, surprisingly rich, and which seems thus far unexplored. Considering the impending bicentenary of the composer (and the 130th death anniversary), the theme deserves to be elaborated on.
The author reviews the direct relationship of Wagner and the organ, with his influences on composers for organ, as with, for example, the issue of transcription, at first more general, later more focused on Wagner.
