Impact of new instrumental possibilities for composing thinking
Krejčík, Jan ; BARTOŇ, Hanuš (advisor) ; GUŠTAR, Milan (referee)
The work describes the concept of disklavier Yamaha (player-piano) with electronics, the concept of a sampler with sampled human voice controlled by an Ondéa interface (Martenot waves) by J. Krejčík and the concept of the interactive piano by J.-C. Risset.
The examples of pieces composed on the basis of these concepts show, how these concepts have affected their definitive music form. The work undertakes a review of the relationship between a musician's gesture and an instrument interface and its relevance to musical perception and thinking. . The work is complemented with a summary of the historical development of player-piano, and Martenot waves.

Personally, I colaborated with few composers in preparation and execution of some of these pieces. This fact in conjunction with the lack of literature inspirate me to write this work. I deliberately chose two compositions, in which the accordion plays an important role, although not intended to form a solo concert, but just as an organic part of the orchestral staff. The main purpose was to show its unique technical and tonal possibilities on the specific parts of selected pieces focused to sound. The results of analysis of both compositions clearly show the greatest benefit of accordion possibilities in tone creation, variability associated with wide tone range and a rich variety in sound transformation of techniques of other instruments of the orchestra. Final thesis leaves somewhat open ending, it should motivate composers to think about the technical capabilities of an accordion, which is primarily tempered instrument, however in some ways can produce non tempered sound. This fact can produce new quality and also new structural conce
