Music Performance Anxiety and Its Prevention in the Education System
Stevanović, Ena ; KRAJNÝ, Boris (advisor) ; KLÁNSKÝ, Ivan (referee)
Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a specific type of anxiety that appears in musicians when they are called to perform in front of others. Mayor causes of MPA are competitive nature of this profession, desire to reach perfection in interpretation, presence of critics and the audience and strong need to control those mental functions that are affected the most by stage fright (such as memory, concentration and muscle coordination). Many authors believe that cognitive factors are the most important for explaination of MPA, especially negative automatic thoughts that appear shortly before the performance. Those dysfunctional thoughts are deforming reality. They are emotionally disturbing and they are affecting performance artistic value. The most effective solutions for this problem are psychological treatment and counceling (identification of emotions and thoughts) and short-term and long-term practicing organization. Education system emphasizes importance of correct ways of memorizing and development of notions and music conception.

Breathing when playing the brass instruments
Žáková, Petra ; SUŠICKÝ, Jiří (advisor) ; MALIMÁNEK, Karel (referee)
In my diploma thesis I deal with breathing when playing the brass instruments. In the first chapter called Process of Breathing I describe the respiratory system, its breathing mechanism and a separate breathing process with the main emphasis on the types of breathing, control of breathing and a lung capacity. Subsequently I occupy with the breathing process when playing, it means with breathing in cooperation with creation of tones, embouchure, activity of tongue and with the finger technique. In the second chapter I mention some important brass players and teachers of the breathing in brass instrumental music; the view of the East Cultures on ordinary breathing is also supplemented to this overview. In the third chapter I quote some methods of breathing development. Firstly I focus on the evolution and usage of various types of breathing, secondly on the methods of breathing development. This chapter includes many breathing exercises done with or without an instrument, which should lead to liberty and speed of inhalation and smoothness and holding of exhalation. The exercises help to the complete fastening of the muscles of respiration.

Inequal Temperaments in history and today´s Practisis
Scholleová, Barbora ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; ČERNÝ, Pavel (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the historical temperaments. For their understanding it is necessary to become familiar with the sizes of the natural intervals resulting of the aliquot series. One must be able to determine the frequency rate of any interval and its size in cents.
It is outlined why there does not exist ideal tuning and therefore why any tuning is the compromise with different priorities and kinds of utilization. The path to today's widespread equal temperament was long, lots of various temperatures have been used throughout the history. The most important types are listed and described.
Currently, in connection with the pursuit of historically informed interpretation historical temperaments are used again. Old music sounds more trustworthy and sometimes, use of historical temperament can help the player to clearer perception of the content of music.

Mauro Giuliani : Guitar Concertos
Zelinka, Aleš ; RAK, Štěpán (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
In my thesis, I would like to emphasise to general consciousness relatively few played (but well known) guitar concertos of the guitar virtuoso and composer, living at the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, Mauro Giuliani. I would like to perform it in such a manner, that in the first part, I will set his musical personality into a context of his time and shortly describe his musical career and whereabouts, especially in a relation with many signifiant personalities from his surrounding, with who he has collaborated with, or got inspiration from, so that it influenced his work.
In the next part, I would cite all the major fields of his work and evaluate them from today?s perspective as a performer. Technical requirements of his compositions are very individual and therefore the author is very valuable for a wide range of guitarists. Many of Giuliani?s compositions are very few known, so I would like to especially pick these up to attention, that I consider they don?t deserve to be quite forgotten or overlooked.
Then, in the following chapter, I will analyse the 3 existing guitar concertos. That should be the core of my thesis. Especially, I would like to focus on 3rd concerto F-major op.70, originally written for the terz guitar.
At the end, I will make an emphasis on the meaning of his concertos in the way, that I sum up the conclusions from the previous chapter. From the perspective of classical guitar literature are these concertos very valuable, because in comparison with some other instruments, we have a very few of them in general. Especially from this period of time and this quality.
