Pátek, Matěj ; HLAVÁČ, Jiří (advisor) ; VENYŠ, Irvin (referee)
In my bachelor’s thesis, I introduce and subsequently compare six important publications of clarinet instructive literature and their authors, and focus on general problems of practising and performing clarinet etudes.

Second chapter briefly introduces selected authors (Cavallini, Jeanjean, Stark, Jettel, Zítek and Žebera), discusses their background and one particular work by each of them. Third chapter offers a comparison of the six selected works based on different aspects of clarinet performance and instructional purposes.
