Origin and evolution of the italian toccata in the baroque
Bernovský, Ondřej ; MRÁZKOVÁ, Giedre (advisor) ; ŽĎÁRSKÁ, Petra (referee)
Abstract
The term toccata denotes mostly a piece written in free form, that is by its nature intended almost exlusively for a keyboard instrument. It can be characterised as a virtuoso improvisatory piece, in which the impression of improvisation is effectively evoked. The understanding of the toccata as a musical genre went through many changes. Every composer has added his personal characteristics to its style, which were later imitated and individually re-created by the next generations of composers. The toccata was developping since late renessaince and baroque and became a substantial compositional tool that used many styles and played different roles.

Galanis, Georgios ; FARKAČ, Hynek (advisor) ; SPURNÝ, Vojtěch (referee)
The theme of the bachelor thesis, is actually a sherical view on the 18th century Italian comic opera, which developed in Naples, Venice, Rome and other Italian cities simultaneously. It contains biographies of the most important composers and libretists of this genre and a clear view of its development throughout the century. The Italian opera buffa is one of the most essential and interesting topics in the history of music, therefore making itself quite attractive for me to discover.

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.
