The Changes in the Piano Aesthetics
Jurčík, Vlastimil ; Krajný, Boris (advisor) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
The dissertation deals with the relation between the aesthetics and the art of piano performance. Specifically, major pitfalls of the piano compositions' interpretation are demonstrated, in order to delegate its relevant, aesthetical nature. The thesis is outlined by examination of the fundamental principles of aesthetics, serving also as an essential background for understanding the concepts brought in consequent chapters. A survey of the piano performance aesthetics approaces follows, divided into three intrinsic frameworks represented by an artist, a teacher and a student. Naturally, in their distinct capacities, they are dealing with the same issues. Nevertheless, they mostly take in a concept which is rather different from one to another. Understanding of these differences and principles specific for each particular group may assist greatly in their mutual communication. Therefore, the final chapter is devoted to communication in its complexity. All distinct frameworks are mutually coexisting and interacting, while preserving the art, a vital part of a man.

Marešová, Michaela ; Langer, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šimonková, Dagmar (referee)
My bachelor´s work is called Piano work Ludwig van Beethoven in 1802-1812. These years are interesting because from 1802 he started to write pieces with his original style and in these ten years he wrote a lot of piano pieces. I devided my work to three chapters and every one have smaller separate chapter.First chapter is called Ludwig van Beethoven in years 1802-1812, where I first time write about politic situation in this period, then more deeply about his life and illness and at least I write little about his relation to piano. Next chapter is Piano work in years 1802-1812, where I analyse piano pieces formally, first time variations and fantasies, piano sonatas and at least piano concertos. The last chapter is all dedicated piano sonata f minor op. 57, whre I trie more deeply analyse this piece formally and also analyse interpretation.

Life and the main piano works of Josef Suk
Hudečková, Veronika ; Malý, František (advisor) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
The objective of my bachelor´s thesis was elaboration of the main piano works by Josef Suk, how is described already in the title of my work. I endeavoured to do a factual and interesting insight in his piano pieces. My solution of conception of my thesis is following: I´ ve resolved my bachelor´s thesis into two crucial subsections. Because of my interest of Josef Suk´s life - for his studying at Prague Conservatory, his working and activities in Czech quartette or his affinity for Antonín Dvořák, I´ ve decided to be more concentrated for this in the first subsection. Then I was writing about his main piano pieces, particularly about his cycles in the second subsection. In some parts I again came back to some of his life´s periods, which are connected with thereinafter works. At the close I´ ve tried to compile my finding and the aspects which I wanted to explain.

FRANCIS POULENC - CHAMBER COMPOSITIONS WITH PIANO
Baranová, Markéta ; Klánský, Ivan (advisor) ; Vlasáková, Alena (referee) ; Langer, Miroslav (referee)
Francis Poulenc is french composer of 20. century, one of Le Groupe des Six, but not too known. I would like to introduce him more in this Master´s thesis. I would also like to appreciate Poulenc ´s chamber compositions with piano, which is the closest instrument to me. Each composition, it ´s analysis and history has it ´s own capture.
Special capture belongs to his curriculum vitae and also to his complete works. I believe it´s necessary to understand the part of chamber compositions with piano among all Poulenc ´s works.
I hope, that this thesis can help to explore this excellent and amusing author.
