The title of my diploma thesis is Bassoon in chamber music of Bohuslav Martinů.

The first chapter of the thesis deals with the composer´s musical inspirations. I speak about the development of Kalabis´composing style and I write about his perception of the individual instruments. The next part deals with the interpreter´s perspective describing how to perform these compositions.
My thesis is divided into chapters dealing with the individual pieces written by Viktor Kalabis. In each chapter I speak the circumstances of origin, musical form and my experience with performing these compositions. I offer different opinions for practice and interpretation. In the course of several years, I cooperated with amazing musicians like, for example, Daniel Wiesner (piano), Jana Jarkovská, Daniel Havel (flute), Jana Kopicová (oboe), Adéla Tribeneklová, Jan Musil (horn, Jana Hudeček (bassoon) and lots of interesting musical ideas came to existence during our cooperation.
