This thesis deals with the contribution of Belarusian composers to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire. The aim of this is to highlight important role of authors from Belarusian guitar school in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarusian context. The first part of this thesis focuses on the works of professional composers composing for guitar, as well as the works of Belarusian guitarplayers-composers.Also, I systematised published ,usic material and methodological publications regarding guitar, from the historically first guitar anthology in Belarus till today. In the second part, I analysed chosen guitar composition of Belarusian author - the Concert for guitar , strings and bells from Galina Gorelova.
While determining the contribution of Belarusian composers to guitar repertoire, I first researched the background of professional guitar education and interpretation in Belarus in soviet times. These are the roots of madern professional guitar composer school. The work of particular composers has been analysed based on their interpretation, pedagogic and composer activity in historical and music - cultural context.
I analysed the Concert for guitar, strings and bells in three parts from G. Gorelova from the point of view of guitar part, its role in this composition, dramaturgical content and musical form.I managed to systematise the work of Belarusian composers- guitar players and non - guitar players, as well as publishing of their opuses and compositions, and to include them into a broader context of Belarusian guitar school development.
The benefit of work lies in highlighting the role of Belorusia composers in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarus. Based on data ascertaned, it is possible to contend that Belarusian guitar players and composers contribute significantly to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire.

Mauro Giuliani : Guitar Concertos
Zelinka, Aleš ; RAK, Štěpán (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
In my thesis, I would like to emphasise to general consciousness relatively few played (but well known) guitar concertos of the guitar virtuoso and composer, living at the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, Mauro Giuliani. I would like to perform it in such a manner, that in the first part, I will set his musical personality into a context of his time and shortly describe his musical career and whereabouts, especially in a relation with many signifiant personalities from his surrounding, with who he has collaborated with, or got inspiration from, so that it influenced his work.
In the next part, I would cite all the major fields of his work and evaluate them from today?s perspective as a performer. Technical requirements of his compositions are very individual and therefore the author is very valuable for a wide range of guitarists. Many of Giuliani?s compositions are very few known, so I would like to especially pick these up to attention, that I consider they don?t deserve to be quite forgotten or overlooked.
Then, in the following chapter, I will analyse the 3 existing guitar concertos. That should be the core of my thesis. Especially, I would like to focus on 3rd concerto F-major op.70, originally written for the terz guitar.
At the end, I will make an emphasis on the meaning of his concertos in the way, that I sum up the conclusions from the previous chapter. From the perspective of classical guitar literature are these concertos very valuable, because in comparison with some other instruments, we have a very few of them in general. Especially from this period of time and this quality.
