"Barokáři" - Historically Informed Performance in the Czech Republic Through the Eyes of Its Interpreters
Vacek, Přemysl ; Wohlmuth, Petr (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
In this thesis I present a community of musicians dealing with a specific approach to music of older styles - historically informed performances (HIP). The aim is to answer the question as to why these promising classically educated musicians decided to leave the traditional career path in their field and chose alternative musical expression. I follow the rise and development of the professional scene of historically informed performances and its community from the turn of the 80s and 90s of the 20th century to the present day. Based on the analysis and interpretation of oral historical interviews, I describe changes in this environment and subsequent reflection on the perception of the profession and lives of the actors. I focus on their individual perceptions of authenticity and historical time, formed by their incorporation in early music.

Inequal Temperaments in history and today´s Practisis
Scholleová, Barbora ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; ČERNÝ, Pavel (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the historical temperaments. For their understanding it is necessary to become familiar with the sizes of the natural intervals resulting of the aliquot series. One must be able to determine the frequency rate of any interval and its size in cents.
It is outlined why there does not exist ideal tuning and therefore why any tuning is the compromise with different priorities and kinds of utilization. The path to today's widespread equal temperament was long, lots of various temperatures have been used throughout the history. The most important types are listed and described.
Currently, in connection with the pursuit of historically informed interpretation historical temperaments are used again. Old music sounds more trustworthy and sometimes, use of historical temperament can help the player to clearer perception of the content of music.
