The thesis "The influence of jazz in Czech piano concerts" disserts on the Czech jazz scene of the First republic and the time after 1945. It reminds us of the Czech music on the edge of genres as well as it debates about the Czech piano concerts of the respective time period. It picks especially those most affected by jazz (E. Schulhoff: Concert for piano and a small orchestra, J. Ježek: Piano concert, M. Svoboda: Concerto grosso for violin, piano and a string orchestra, M. Hybler: Concert for piano and orchestra, op. 21). An analysis of the above mentioned with sheet music examples shapes another part of the work. The final part of the thesis is represented by a study on jazz elements used
by the author in her piano concert "Beyond heaven".

After a short introduction the concept of improvisation is defined and the thesis traces its development, forms and possibilities from the beginnings of music itself to the second half of the 20th century. The early beginnings of the development are captured in a brief summary. The explanation of the concept of jazz and basic types of jazz improvisation follows. The last - third - chapter deals with improvisation inartificial music of the second half of the 20th century, particularly the aleatory music and the so called improvised music. The thesis concentrates on the improvised music phenomenon in detail. Several subchapters explain the relation between improvised music and composition, space, visual arts, written scores, and the usage of traditional and nontraditional musical instruments in this music, and also form, feedback system and the improvised music reduction. The conclusion of this thesis reflects the use of improvisation in an original composition.
