Arcangelo Coreli Oprara Quinta
Kuncl Štillerová, Martina ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (advisor) ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on the personality of the Arcangello Corelli and his contribution on the field of musical forms and violin. Work is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter I describe Arcangelo Corelli ´s life in a historical context.In the second chapter I focus on musical forms whose development contributed Corelli and I also give a concentration on individual works. The third chapter is devoted to the field of issue of the ornamentation of 17th and 18th century as well as Corelli´s fifth opus, which is an indispensable source of knowledge to period - style ornamentation.
I hope this work will serve as a source of information not only about extraordinary composer, but also contribute to clarify the issue of ornamentation of 17th 18th century which is still an area somewhat elusive for many musicians.

The music Tradition of the Couperin Dynasty
Žáková, Lucie ; MRÁZKOVÁ, Giedre (advisor) ; SPURNÝ, Vojtěch (referee)
My bachelor thesis called The music tradition of the Couperin Dynasty (from the point of view of the harpsichord literature interpretation) deals with the whole Couperin dynasty of musicians, which had almost two-hundred-year tradition.
In the first chapter I have introduced to the reader the historic context of the times, when the Couperins lived and worked.
At the beginning of the second chapter, I point out how the music traditions of XVII. and XVIII. centuries spread in Europe. Further on, the entire second chapter is devoted to the Couperin dynasty from their origin to their exercise at the court and in the centre of events ? at the most prestigious places in Paris. I deal more in detail with all the male and female musicians of the dynasty, their lives and, if preserved, all their work.
The third chapter focuses on three most outstanding representatives of the Couperins - Louis, François le Grand and Armand-Louis. Their distinct styles show music development, changes in music thinking and various use of the instrument in the high period of the harpsichord to its decline and until the end of the harpsichord age. Above all, I try to emphasise their individual contributions to the harpsichord works and music.
In the last chapter, there is a chronological succession of the Couperin organists in one of the most important places in Paris ? at the organist position at Saint Gervais church.

Concerts for One Piano and Strings by J. S. Bach
Raková, Iva ; MALÝ, František (advisor) ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with concertos for one piano and strings by Johann Sebastian Bach. Because of the fact that these works are rather neglected literature in our country, this thesis describes genesis of these concertos which were composed for the Leipzig music society Collegium Musicum, whose artistic director Bach was. This work further analyses their origin, since all of them are transcriptions of other concertos for a melodic instrument (some of the patterns got lost but several of them are performed as violin concertos). The thesis marginally deals also with interpretation of Bach`s works on a modern piano with regards to piano concertos. Last but not least, it approaches Bach as a composer, performer and pedagogue.
Although Bach`s concertos for one piano and strings are mere fragment of his works for keyboard instruments and are transcriptions of other concerts, they lose nothing from their artistic qualities and definitely do not stand behind other Bach`s piano compositions.
