Moučková, Michaela ; RAK, Štěpán (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
As the title would suggest, the goal of my master thesis was to build the complete arch that would hold at the time of its brightest shine, at the times of Parisien and Viennese school. From my own opinion is this epoch of guitar, allocated by the end of classicism and the early romantism, in the universe of music, one of the most remarkable. This attractiveness is proven epecially thru the giutar literature of that time, that with its beauty, imaginativeness and permanent artistic recensy, is with no doubt the most significant. The first chapter is devided betwen the two subchapters. It pictures social-political and cultural situation of the turn of 18th and 19th century. In the first subchapter, I briefly capture the manners of changes of musical speech, predetermining then the speech of guitar composers of early romantism. Then in the second subchapter, I notice the most important genres and musical forms, preferred especially at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of 19th, from which our previously surveyed guitar schools were born. In second chapter I summarize the form of the early romantic guitar of the beginning of 19th century. I notice here the most significant names of master guitar builders and characteristics of their type of work. In following next two important chapters, 3rd and 4th, I talk about the most important modern guitar composers of Viennese and Parisien school of that time. Thru the short biographies and significant milestones of each personalities mentioned, I cite selected pieces for guitar, which by its meaning overcome typical expectations. The next subchapter then picks up the most influential contemporaries and followers who affect collaterally with both mentioned guitar schools, though not involved within them. The conclusion then in a few sentences points at the importance and unimaginable value of the guitar music of the first half of the 19th century, which has a worldwide merit revolutionary influence up to now.
