History of music
Janeba, Jakub ; Čumlivski,, Jan (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
In the book History of Music, the reader learns about music through all epochs of humanity (from prehistory to the present) in a simple, comprehensive way. The book is illustrated to entertain both small and large readers who appreciate the quality of the workmanship. The text in the book is processed in structured info-blocks, profiles of musicians and short poems, serving as a mnemonic aid. As part of my bachelor's thesis, I deal with a graphic concept, illustration, the concept of publishing a book, the preparation of a sales e-shop.

I set out to show just how much this fact affected all parts of music creation all the way to its consumption.

To close out the thesis I present several examples of how specific genres came to be affected by the rise...

On the basis of musicological research it is incontestable that Johann Anton Koželuch ranks among the most important personalities of Bohemian musical life in the second half of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century and his legacy goes beyond the borders of this country. The dissertation points towards new findings about music history not only in Bohemia, but also across Central Europe.
