Kapidani, Noela ; Palkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Gregor, Vít (referee)
This bachelor thesis is about the composer Johannes Brahms and his piano cycle compositions between 1892-1893. The scope of the thesis is entirely informational and educational, through a thorough analysis of every individual piano piece from the opus 116, 117, 118, 119. It specifically deals with the analysis of the requirements for their practice with attached short sheet music instructions. The beginning of the work is devoted to a brief biography and personality characteristics of Johannes Brahms and his abilities as a piano teacher. It also mentions his closest companions and his contemporary fellow musicians. The next section talks about the history of all the pieces including a harmonical and melodic analysis of each piece. Ultimately, the aim of this analysis is to provide some guidance for anyone that is interested to have more knowlege on the pieces, theoritically and practically speaking. At the end of this work you will find a brief conclusion on the ways and methods of learning how to study the compositions.

Old or new in the Antonín Dvořák´s Serenade op. 44
Kolátorová, Petra
The paper considers the genre of the orchestral serenade in the context of reflections on “old” and “new”. The serenade form was rediscovered for the 19th century by the German composer Johannes Brahms, who built on the legacy of Viennese classicism. In the case of Antonín Dvořák’s Serenade for Wind Instruments, op. 44, it is also possible, on the basis of analysis and historical connections, to speculate about classicist models, specifically Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Serenade in B Flat Major, KV 361/370a. Dvořák took Brahms’ initiative a step further, with his Serenade op. 44 presaging the trend in development towards neoclassicism, which, however, was to come much later.
