Bařák, Lukáš ; KUSNJER, Ivan (advisor) ; MÁROVÁ, Libuše (referee)
This diploma thesis is dealing with the personality of Jaroslav Šaroun, contemporary composer, pianist and accompanist. It focuses on his artistic life and as well as his personal life. The main emphasis is on his artistic life, which is dealt with in several chapters. Those chapters describe his evolution from a young student to a piano player of Czech philharmony. Another important point is his view of music interpretation and of pedagogical activities and its principles, which he passed on to students, at the Prague conservatory as well as at HAMU. Furthermore a cycle of Four songs for baritone and piano with lyrics by Toquato Tasso is analyzed in this thesis and viewed from many angles.

Josef Jiránek in the light of the Prague's archive sources
Křivský, Václav ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
The thesis focuses on virtuoso pianist, teacher, musical theoretician and composer Josef Jiránek (1855 - 1940). The thesis draws from Josef Jiránek's own estate, as well as resources kept at various archive institutions in Prague. It underlines Josef Jiránek's merit as regards the art of the piano and piano education in particular, while emphasizing Hugo Riemann's influence on his music-teaching as well as theoretical ideas. In the light of the Prague resources, Josef Jiránek may be viewed as a follower of the traditional interpretation legacy of Bedřich Smetana. Nonetheless, by further elaborating Smetana's legacy from a purely scientific perspective and with his analytical and rational approach to piano work, Josef Jiránek had indeed largely contributed to the development and evolution of piano education and piano reproduction art - regardless of the fact that his ideas and methods were later overcome. The objective of this thesis is to open a gateway that would attract greater attention of musicologists to Josef Jiránek, who has been on the periphery of their interest and whose true picture remains hidden under the label "Bedřich Smetana's pupil".
