Piano Work of C. Debussy with Focus on the Cycle Estampes - harmonical Analysis, Comparison of the Records
Suchánková, Eva ; KRAJNÝ, Boris (advisor) ; KAHÁNEK, Ivo (referee)
The topic of this bachelor?s thesis is a deeper analysis of the interpretation of the piano cycle Estampes by Claude Debussy. Three different approaches of analysis for achieving this aim were chosen. First, the reader is introduced into the historical circumstances of the formation of the cycle and all the sources of author?s inspiration. Second, a harmonical analysis of the whole cycle as the main focus of this thesis is presented. This was achieved by capturing of the unique features of every composition and by pointing out the most important musical ideas and thematic material characteristic to the musical impressionism used by the composer. Thirdly, three famous pianists of the 20. century with their different interpretations of Estampes are introduced: W. Gieseking, E. Gilels and S. Richter. These interpretations are mutually compared as well as with the sheet of the original music. Such a complex view of these piano pieces may enable a deeper insight into their complexity and may also serve to a convincing interpretation and better understanding of Estampes.
This bachelor?s thesis is divided into the introduction part, four main chapters with several subchapters and the conclusion. Four attachments are added to the thesis.

Hanáková, Radka ; Böhmová, Veronika (advisor) ; Kahánek, Ivo (referee)
This thesis deals chiefly with the Shostakovitsch´s First Piano Sonata op. 12. It´s goal is to provide this piece in it´s wholeness as much as possible and by this way help to extend a low number of the sources about this matter, which are available in Czech, at least.
As the most important part I consider it´s formal analysis and primarily interpretation analysis, which is based on my own experience with this work I have had this year. My goal is to give the experience and knowledge I´ve got when I was studying it. All of this is given to the context with the Shostakovitsch´s curricullum with the most important works and with a separate chapter including the pieces for piano solo.
In the annex is given a complete sheet music of this sonata.

The base of this work is analysis of Prokofiev's piano concerto op. 26 C major. It isn't a scientific work. It's rather analysis of form, melody and harmony in context with his others piano works. At chapter about surroundings dislocation generation of concert I am based on the author?s testation a with him I try to find his ideas right in this work. Also I introduce the poem wich is inspired by the conceptus of this work, was written by poet Balmont. At the last chapter I tout about a view on Prokofiev like friend, pianist, colleague, composer by the eyes his contemporaries both his students and teachers, colleagues, pianists, friends but aswell his enemy. The greatest personalities like Neuhaus, Rostropovich, Oistrach remember him. Life?s facts I touch very too little with regard to quantity indeed more far specialist literature.
