Modal Analysis of the Flute
Vojtovič, Adam ; Votava, Tomáš (referee) ; Hájek, Petr (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with an influence of a fundamental shape and partial sections of flute on frequency of tones. A simple flute is designed and made according to the given formulas. The functionality of the flute is verified by measuring frequencies of each tone. These frequencies are compared with values given analytically and also with values of natural frequencies calculated by finite element method. General information about wind instruments is included in the thesis, too. Besides the clarification of fundamental principles of function of wind instruments, there are also derived fundamental formulas for calculation of natural frequencies of tubes.

Possibilities of physiotherapy for professional flute players
ŠEVČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
Music is an integral part of human life. Its therapeutic effects have been described, but it also affects professional musicians in terms of physiology. When playing a musical instrument, a player's body position is strongly influenced especially for musical instruments that require an asymmetrical posture. The flute belongs to this group of musical instruments. Playing this musical instrument may therefore involve certain health risks. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to describe the movement stereotypes that may arise when playing the transverse flute, and then to propose compensatory exercises to mitigate the risks of musculoskeletal disorders in flutists. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a description of kinesiology concepts relevant to the subsequent practical part, such as movement stereotypes, deep stabilization system, posture and shoulder joint kinesiology. Furthermore, asymmetric loading and ergonomics of playing the flute are described. Health problems that can often occur in professional flute players are also discussed. The practical part describes qualitative research that was conducted with a group of flute players. A kinesiological examination was performed on the respondents. The lateral scapular slide test was used as an additional test to assess the relative position of the scapulae. The practical part also included the education of exercises from a pre-prepared exercise unit aimed at preventing the development of, as well as compensating for, movement stereotypes in flute players. From the results, we can say that the inclusion of compensatory exercises to the flute playing was beneficial for the respondents. The content of the paper could be used in clinical physiotherapy, and could also be useful for professional flutists themselves, or in the teaching of the flute in Primary Art Schools.

The contemporary form of teaching flute in Art scholls
Paterová, Martina ; Marešová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Hurníková, Kateřina (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the current form of teaching the flute in basic art schools. The first chapter introduces six selected methodologies and methodological-textbooks from the Czech and foreign environment. It focuses on the views of various authors on issues related to breath, proof, position while playing, holding the instrument and the use of tone. The second chapter is composed of an analysis of the answers of respondents who participated in the questionnaire survey. Based on the answers of the respondents, it was found that the flute is taught in primary music schools by qualified teachers who do not teach only according to one methodology, but combine several approaches at once. Aspects of the game, such as breath, posture, and instrument holding, are the most relevant. They work mostly with their students on the interpretation of recital compositions and choose classical, piano tutoring. More than half of the respondents perceive the current form of teaching as progressive, and some of them themselves propose changes that would contribute to the quality of teaching.

Baroque flute and historical development of opinions on the interpretation of the flute literature
KOPSOVÁ, Andrea
This work is dealing with progression and interpretation of transverse flute with a special emphasis on the baroque flute focusing on the interpretative aspect of contemporary interest in this musical instrument. The evolution of a flute will be monitored from the very inception, whose testimony is provided by archaelogical discoveries, over antiquity and medieval to renesance, where we can observe much more comprehensive and specific information of development of this musical instrument, whose tones accompany humankind in varios forms for centuries. In next pages the work deals with the crucial period in which this flute was very widespread, namely the Baroque style, where the period interpretation of the baroque transverse flute will be described. We will approach the history of our musical instrument in the work to around the year of 1916, where we will learn about the type of so-called multi-flaps flute. In the final part we will get to workshops of current major manufacturers producing these period instruments, such as Martin Wenner, Boaz Berney, Rudolf Tutz and more. We will also take a look at the pictures of the flute in fine arts, poetry and we will present concrete works of art in the form of paintings, engravings and statues.

Slivoňová, Lucie ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
Jarmil Burghauser is mostly known as the editor of the complete critical edition of Antonín Dvořák's work. In addition to that he issued editions of Smetana, Fibich or Janáček. He also instrumented many pieces of these composers. Even though the sources refer to his fruitful activities in the field of composing, Burghauser as a composer is not very known. The aim of this thesis is to introduce Jarmil Burghauser as a composer of chamber music for brass instruments through the analysis of selected compositions. The objective is also to put Burghauser in the context of Czech musical work in the 20th century.
