Studie Davida Kozla je věnována formě hudební koláže ve vztahu k princpipu mytologického myšlení, stejně jako jejího použití v postmoderní hudební tvorbě., The term neo-mythologism can be used as an interpretative approach to reflect the new 20th-century music paradigm, which helps to explain changes in the understanding of basic structural elements of myth and music. The study identifies certain possible correlations between mythological thinking and music by analysing the concept of collage (bricolage). The underlying theoretical concept employed is Claude Lévi-Strauss’ structural anthropology as proposed in La Pensée Sauvage (1962). Collage is viewed as a manifestation of neo-mythologism and as a narrative in the postmodern musical discourse, which is accompanied by changes in the understanding of the essence of the musical matter and compositional techniques of composers. The compositional treatment of several different layers of the musical structure within a musical collage with a view to conveying a new meaning is in principle akin to how meaning is generated in mythological thinking through the combination of various materials., David Kozel., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 192, anglický abstrakt na s. 181.

Studie Martina Voříška je věnována hudebnímu životu na zámku v Českém Krumlově v roce 1780. Autor jej sleduje prostřednictvím neobvyklé události. 12. srpna 1780 totiž byla vykradena knížecí pokladna, z níž se ztratilo více než 950 zlatých. V té době ji měl na starosti kancelista a dvorní hudební ředitel Antonín Jan Jüngling. Aby se zbavil z podezření, že byl pachatelem tohoto činu, vytvořil detailní soupis své denní činnosti, díky níž tak zcela mimoděk vznikl unikátní dokument reflektující činnost schwarzenberské kapely v té době. Výňatky z tohoto dokumentu, jež se týkají hudby, jsou citovány v příloze., The article is based on a lengthy report by Anton Johann Jüngling on his own activities on 12 August 1780; Jüngling was at the time the Schwarzenbergs’ music director and also a highly placed official. This unique historical source affords a very detailed look at Jüngling’s daily life as a person and a professional, and in combination with other sources, it also enables the creating of a quite detailed picture of the musical events at the Schwarzenberg court over a period of just under two weeks, when the Schwarzenbergs were staying in Český Krumlov with their guests. The musical activities included theatrical performances, a ball, a private concert with repertoire consisting of orchestral arrangements of music from singspiels currently being performed (Die schöne Schusterin and Die abgeredte Zauberey), and accompaniment for worship services. The study documents that the musicians at the princely court were able to secure the music for most of these occasions, and that they were supplemented or substituted for as needed by hired musicians from the town or the military., Martin Voříšek., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 141-142, anglický abstrakt na s. 117.
Measuring the speed of sound propagation in metals is easy and fast, and is not only for the laboratory. With the use of a smartphone, ruler, rosin, and vice we can measure speeds for steel, brass, aluminium, and plastic. Values differ by a few percent from the tabulated values. Following determination of the density of the material, it is also possible to determine the Young's modulus of elasticity. This method presents an opportunity for students to take physics into their own hands.

Studie Marcuse Zagorskiho je věnována dílu hudebního skladatele Karlheinze Stockhausena. Autor se však na něj zaměřuje z netradičního pohledu, protože zkoumá problematiku a způsob poslechu Stockhausenovy hudby., Karlheinz Stockhausen’s theory of listening reflected essential tenets of his creative practice and aesthetic inclinations. He outlined an admirably tolerant and accepting approach to listening and encouraged different listeners to generate different formal models to describe the same music. His method of listening thereby challenged the perceptual reconstruction of known, pre-existing forms that was so important to listening in the preceding 150 years, and this complemented his compositional challenge to another established aesthetic category – that of the closed musical work. By revealing this aesthetic background, this article shows the significance of Stockhausen’s thinking about listening., Marcus Zagorski., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 201, anglický abstrakt na s. 193.
Příspěvek Jana Kouby představuje autorovo zastavení nad jeho knihou "Slovník statočeských hymnografů". Věnuje se zde otázce pojmů hymnografie a hymnologie, německým hymnografům a dalším tématům., The article summarises all of the problems with the existing editions of Leoš Janáček’s organ compositions. The indisputable originality of the composer’s musical language, highlighted by his peculiar, inimitable notation and the nearly illegible handwriting that resulted when his hand could not keep up with his thoughts, did not always lead to comprehension of the composer’s intentions. These circumstances also emboldened the efforts of publishers to make the notation of his compositions more intelligible and often to “improve” his works in the best sense of the word. It is the author’s assertion that in spite of the existence of a Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leoš Janáček and of many other printed editions, we shall still have to wait for an edition of Janáček’s organ works that will correct all of the errors in the musical text and will approach a return to the composer’s notation., Jan Kouba., Rubrika: Informatorium, and Anglický abstrakt na s. 223.
The article focuses on the concerns of Czech expectant parents and their subsequent life difficulties. A qualitative longitudinal methodology was used to study parental experiences for a period of around four years. Three waves of semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen dual-earner parental couples who had their first child in 2011 or 2012. An analysis of 93 interviews revealed that the fears of the parents-to-be principally concerned childcare, paid work, free time, the relationships, and health. Actual experience of difficulties in these areas was often mentioned by different respondents from those who had expected to have them. The theory of intensive motherhood was employed to underscore the heavy demands and responsibilities placed on contemporary parents and the difficulties that accompany the use of a child-centred approach. The heavy demands on childcare felt by mothers who adhered to the intensive mothering model were cited as causing difficulties in the everyday lives of parental couples; the fathers mainly complained of a lack of rest and quality time with their partners.
