History of interpretation and understanding of European music in Japan
Keiko, Michiyo ; KUSNJER, Ivan (advisor) ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (referee)
The history of European music in Japan: how people have changed their
perception, understanding and interpretation of it over the past 150 years.
During the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan was closed off from the
rest of world. It was only with the arrival of US warships in 1853, that one year
later the country was forced to terminate its isolation. More than 150 years have
passed since Japanese people began to listen to and appreciate western music,
and it has been 136 years (1879) since Western music was first introduced into
the Japanese school education system.
150 years is not a long enough time-span. So how has the Japanese
approach to Western music developed in these years?
In this work, I consider the adoption and development of Western music in
Japan not only against a musical background but also from a historical
perspective; I take into account factors such as the development of Japanese
culture and industry not to mention the unique character and attitudes of the
Japanese people.

Kšica, Přemysl ; POPELKA, Josef (advisor) ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (referee)
Nowadays we can be witnesses of an opinion, that in czech country was always in the area of czech church music strong tradition amateur musicians´ influence. Supposedly, that it ever was, is correct, that it is still also today. An aim of this work is not to declaim a role of amateur musicians, but an effort to point to aspects, when is required, even irreplaceable a profesionality. It should be awarded a proper significance, which is unfortunately not always well understanded. In a church praxis is often made a difference in an attitude, if it is about amateur organist or profesionalist, and not just in a financial apprasial point of view.
