This diploma work aims to map to some depth the history of piano trio, to introduce the reader to individual pieces for this arrangement, to present the origins and fortunes of the leading Czech and international ensembles, and to compare their way of interpretation. In the first part of this document we will take a look at the absolute beginnings of chamber music and later development of this musical segment. We will concentrate on the history of the trio, developed from trio sonata that become the principal chamber type during baroque. At the turn of 18th and 19th century we can see its present form. It became one of the most popular musical forms, taking an important place in the work of all four "Viennese classics". We can find some occasional piano trios from Haydn and Mozart, composed primarily for the purpose of private conduction of music. Piano trios of L. v. Beethoven and F. Schubert however present a decisive step in the direction of artistic originality. Mature work of these authors represents zenith of the genre, successfully maintained later on by Schumann, Brahms, Dvořák, Smetana and other romantic representatives, who were using the form as ideal means to convey the most internal of their feelings. Meeting of three completely different instruments allows the composers to merge...

Jarmil Burghauser is mostly known as the editor of the complete critical edition of Antonín Dvořák's work. In addition to that he issued editions of Smetana, Fibich or Janáček. He also instrumented many pieces of these composers. Even though the sources refer to his fruitful activities in the field of composing, Burghauser as a composer is not very known. The aim of this thesis is to introduce Jarmil Burghauser as a composer of chamber music for brass instruments through the analysis of selected compositions. The objective is also to put Burghauser in the context of Czech musical work in the 20th century.

Esterlová, Tereza ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
This diploma thesis interprets the anonymous Inventory of Chamber Compositions, which is held in the Archives and Library of Prague Conservatory. It informs about the conditions of performing the repertory from this source between 1843 and 1864. In comparison with other sources the author of this manuscript was identified. His biography is contained in the second chapter. The content of the manuscript is analyzed and compared with the repertory performed in other bourgeios houses and Prague public concerts. Apart from the relevant literature the period critical concert reviews and further archive sources are taken into consideration. The discovered Inventory of the compositions performed in JUDr. František Švestka's house is one of the few sources which prove reception of similarly demanding repertory among non-professional instrumentalists in the 19th century. Key words: 19th century, Prague, chamber music, music societies, non-professional musicians, František Švestka, Moritz Mildner, music in salons, concert programmes, the Bohemia journal

Piano Trio in Czech Chamber Music
Pichlíková, Markéta ; Tomášek, Jiří (advisor) ; Perglerová, Marka (referee)
Author's precis The aim of this thesis is to survey the history of piano trio, a chamber ensemble, which has since its very beginnings existed in the shadow of more famous string quartet. No works of literature seem to pay as much attention to the piano trios as to the string quartets. It is also appropriate to analyse the origin and history of the oldest ensemble of this type in Czech, to introduce a list of other contemporary piano trios in our country and give some additional information about them such as short biographies of their members, their history and their concert tours. The first part of this work deals with the origin of chamber music, its development and significance. We will describe a trio as a kind of chamber music composition which has developed from trio sonata and is one of the major types of baroque music. After this era of composing for various groups of three instruments, there comes the standardization of a classical piano trio constitution which has remained the same ever since. The most contributing to the process of its formation were the works of J. Haydn, W. A. Mozart and L. v. Beethoven. Romantic composers use this genre to express their innermost feelings and add to it an entirely new point of view. After this period we get to the 20th century, the time when all all kinds of...
