The production technology of clarinet reeds and possible modifications
Žitný, Radek ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; MAREŠ, Vlastimil (referee)
In my thesis I describe the known technologies of clarinet and saxophone reed making. These range from purely hand-made fabrication (as in the case of the production of oboe and bassoon reeds) to technologies with an extensive use of machine work, which allows for refined and accelerated production. I also describe what precedes the manufacturing of a reed itself, that is growing and harvesting of cane wood of which the reeds are made. Clarinet and saxophone reeds are the subject of much speculation in terms of durability, usage, warm-up, storage and especially their possible customization to the needs of each individual player. That is why in the second part of this thesis I focus on possible personilised modifications of reeds. To conclude I quote and comment on the most comprehensive records of reed adjustments available in the existing specialist literature. The aim of my research is to provide clarinetists and saxophonists with a manual where I present facts and methods of reed adjustment they may put in practice themselves, and therefore avoid having to rely on „selecting the best of the mediocre reeds available in the music shop". The thesis includes an illustrated appendix of sketches, adjustments, reeds and their packaging, cases and tools.

Compositions for Singing with Accompaniment of Chamber Formations with the Clarinet
Tauchmanová, Hana ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; MAREŠ, Vlastimil (referee)
This thesis deals with using general methodical principles while teaching to play the clarinet and to sing particular compositions – the song cycle by Louis Spohr “Sechs deustsche Lieder fur eine Singstimme, Klarinette und Klavier op. 103“ and the song by Franz Schubert “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen D (965)“.
The work is divided into five chapters. The first chapter briefly mentions the historical background of birth of the compositions with a special regard to the changes in the musical life in the 19th century and the personal lives of both composers.
The second chapter, Personality of the performer, observes important aspects which no performer should ever forget about while studying a chamber piece of work, such as mental preparation, the issue of memory, but also the right choice of repertoire with respect to the characteristics of the soprano voice, for which both compositions were written. Other aspects include posture on the stage, breath support, intonation, sound consistence and making use of all the aspects while performing the song by F. Schubert as well as the song cycle by L. Spohr.
Other two chapters are dedicated to both compositions, the third being focused on L. Spohr´s “Sechs deustsche Lieder fur eine Singstimme, Klarinette und Klavier op. 103“ and the fourth focusing on Franz Schubert´s “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen D (965)“. The circumstan-ces of birth of both compositions are described, loose translation of the texts is provided as well as performer´s experience with the particular songs.
The last (fifth) chapter, Historical faithfulness of interpretation, is a short contemplation over the fact to what extent a performer is able to depict the original idea of the author by means of contemporary technical possibilities.
The thesis describes personal opinions, experience, feelings and problems which its writer encountered while studying the clarinet and singing parts of the compositions.

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.

Plašil, Radek ; Hlaváč, Jiří (advisor) ; Stoklasa, Jan (referee)
The final paper Processes of planning investments and depreciation/ amortization in financial plan will be focused on seeking to describe the most important processes, stages and relations in planning of investments. The investments will dominate because of the fact that the depreciation and amortization are determined by real investment decisions. According to this, depreciation and amortization only illustrate the investment decision which has been already made by the company before. The main target is to compare the differences and relations between financial planning for the purposes of the company and the business valuation. At the beginning are defined two different points of view which are called the macroeconomic and microeconomic view. After that separated financial plans will be mentioned from the view of their users depending on their requirements. The main part will not be based only on the investments in companies, different stages and related tasks but also on the financial view and coordination between all the processes which is very important to succeed. The last part will be written in a co-operation with producing company. It should sum the theoretical part up and emphasize it on the real project.
