The Academies of St John presented by the Society of Bohemian Journalists in the form of a series of orchestral concerts held in Prague took place as a part of celebrations in honour of St John of Nepomuk held each May from 1878 until 1885. The Society of Bohemian Journalists held the events for the purpose of raising money, and on an ideological level, the events were intended to create room for the presentation of orchestral works by Bohemian composers. The organizer of the Academy was the writer, poet, and journalist Jan Neruda, whose feuilletons and reviews in the newspaper Národní listy reflect on the academies that they produced, but on a broader level, they also reveal his attitude towards the saint and the traditional veneration of John of Nepomuk. As a source, this period correspondence of the direct or indirect participants in the Academies of St John or in another project with similar aims (the Slavonic Concerts of the Academic Readers Association) has not previously been exhaustively studied, and it offers insight into Prague’s concert life at the time., Petra Kolátorová., Rubrika: Studie, Obsahuje seznam literatury, and Anglické resumé na s. 296-298.
Studie Marie Škarpové se zabývá literárními prameny a okruhy duchovních písní, které byly inspirací pro repertoár kancionálu "Jesličky, staré a nové písničky", jehož autorem byl přední český barokní básník a duchovní Fridrich Bridelius., This study deals with that portion of the repertoire of the Czech Advent and Christmas songbook Jesličky (Prague, 1658) by Fridrich Bridelius, which newly appeared in Czech hymnography thanks to this song book, and it summarizes the various results of the search for textual sources from other languages for these “new” songs in Jesličky. It points out their ties to contemporary German written hymnography (of both German and Bohemian provenience) and to Latin hymnography, i.e. to contemporary Latin songs. The text is thus not only a contribution towards discovering the ways that Czech hymnographers of the 17th century became familiar with the new, i.e. baroque, poetic language, but also, above all, an attempt to stimulate further hymnological research on baroque hymnographic works in the early modern history of Central Europe and the interconnections and relationships between them., Marie Škarpová., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 397, anglický abstrakt na s. 377.
This study deals with the relationship of Prince Joseph Adam von Schwarzenberg to music and theatre and with the way in which his theatrical preferences revealed themselves in the repertoire of his private castle theatre in Cesky Krumlov from 1766 until 1768. Through a careful study of the extant sources (correspondence, libretti, scores and parts, accounting books etc.), the author has managed to specify the reasons for the precipitous renovation of the castle theatre in late 1765 and early 66 and to determine what specific dramatic works were performed there. Among other things, she has succeeded in compiling the entire list of performances planned for the fourteen-day wedding celebration in the summer of 1768. The author furthermore focuses on information about the musicians who were then in the princes services and also about commissioned musical instruments and musical scores and parts., Helena Kazárová., Obsahuje seznam literatury, and Anglické resumé na s. 45.
Studie Evy Myslivcové se zabývá korespondencí mezi hudebním skladatelem Antonínem Dvořákem a jeho blízkým přítelem Aloisem Göblem., This article introduces newly found photocopies of two letters from Antonín Dvořák to Alois Göbl with heretofore unknown and unpublished contents (newly discovered facts about Dvořák’s life and about period reception of his masterpieces – e.g. the Symphony No. 9 in E Minor “From the New World”, op. 95, and the Cello Concerto in B Minor, op. 104) and places them within the context of Dvořák’s correspondence addressed to his friend Göbl in Sychrov that has already been published in several different editions., Eva Myslivcová., Rubrika: Studie, and Německé resumé na s. 299, anglický abstrakt na s. 289.
Studie Heleny Matějčkové se zabývá obchodními kontakty mezi hudebním skladatelem Antonínem Dvořákem a londýnským nakladatelem Augener & Co., In the course of research focusing on the history of publication of the works of A. Dvořák, printed editions have been discovered for five works that were issued in 1885 and 1886 by the London publishing house Augener & Co. The literature and sources concerning the life and work of A. Dvořák, however, make no mention of this publisher or of its editions of Dvořák’s music. The study maps the history and activity of the publishing house, devoting the greatest attention to describing the new sources and to consideration of the possible circumstances of their publication – Augener’s editions of Dvořák’s compositions appear to have been prepared on the basis of already issued printings by the Prague publisher F. A. Urbánek – and of aspects of publishing practice at the time, especially with regard to copyright issues., Helena Matějčková., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 265, anglický abstrakt 247.
a1_Predchádzajúce výskumy naznačujú, že autenticita (pravdivosť v prežívaní a správaní) súvisí s lepším fungovaním blízkych vzťahov. Štúdia je zameraná najmä na partnerskú, resp. vzťahovú autenticitu, teda tendenciu byť autentický voči partnerovi vo vzťahu. Výskum bol zameraný na zistenie korelačných súvislostí autenticity so vzťahovou autonómiou, so sebaúctou, so spokojnosťou a mierou investícií do vzťahu, s dimenziami lásky a s mierou vnímanej prepojenosti partnerov, a to s cieľom overiť, či autenticita partnerov môže predikovať kvalitu partnerského vzťahu. V rámci partnerských dvojíc bola zisťovaná aj miera zhody medzi autenticitou žien a autenticitou mužov, a tiež to, či autenticita jedného partnera súvisí s aspektmi vzťahu sledovanými u druhého partnera (tzv. efekt partnera). Údaje boli zozbierané prostredníctvom batérie dotazníkov (Škála vzťahovej autenticity, Rolový dotazník autenticity, Dotazník autonómie v partnerskom vzťahu, Škála trojuholníku lásky, dimenzie spokojnosť a investície zo Škály investičného modelu, Rosenbergova škála sebahodnotenia a Škála zahrnutosti druhého v sebe) od 189 respondentov vo veku od 18 do 33 rokov, z toho 51 partnerských párov. Výsledky poukázali na štatisticky významné korelácie medzi partnerskou autenticitou a všetkými sledovanými aspektmi partnerského vzťahu, ako aj na nenáhodnú podobnosť partnerov v miere autenticity. Tiež sa preukázal pozitívny efekt autenticity partnera na vzťahovú autonómiu a spokojnosť druhého partnera (u oboch pohlaví). Čo sa týka dimenzií lásky, u žien bol zistený pozitívny efekt autenticity na oddanosť mužov, kým u mužov pozitívny efekt autenticity na mieru intimity žien., a2_ Určitým limitom výskumu môže byť jeho sebavýpoveďový charakter, sociálna žiaducosť sledovaných charakteristík a špecifickosť výskumnej vzorky (prevažne vysokoškolskí študenti, relatívne vysoký podiel študentov psychológie)., b1_Previous research suggests that authenticity (the truth in the experiences and behaviors) is associated with better functioning of close relationships. The study is mainly focused on the partner or relational authenticity, i.e. the tendency to be authentic towards the partner in the relationship. The research was aimed at finding out the correlations of authenticity with relational autonomy, self-esteem, satisfaction and the level of investment in the partnership, dimensions of love, and the extent of perceived connectedness between partners, to verify whether the authenticity of partners may predict the quality of partnership. Then the level of agreement between the authenticity of women and authenticity of men within the couples was assessed, as well as whether the authenticity of one partner is related to aspects of relationship of the other partner (so-called partner´s effect). Data were collected through the battery of questionnaires (Partnership authenticity scale, Role authenticity questionnaire, Autonomy in partnership questionnaire, Triangular love scale, satisfaction and investment dimensions of the Investment model scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and Inclusion of other to the self scale) from 189 respondents aged 18-33 years, including 51 couples. The results showed statistically significant correlations between relational authenticity and all monitored aspects of the partnership, as well as nonrandom similarity between partners in the level of their authenticity. It was also showed the positive effect of partner’s authenticity to relational autonomy and satisfaction (in both sexes). Regarding the dimensions of love, it was found the positive effect of women’s authenticity to the men’s commitment, and positive effect of men’s authenticity to level of women’s intimacy., b2_Certain limits of the research can be its self-report character, social desirability of observed characteristics, and specificity of the research sample (mostly university students, with relatively high proportion of psychology students)., Eva Nábělková, Natália Balážová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The two hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Don Giovanni premiere, in 1787, and the one hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the foundation, in 1837, of Pragues Mozart Denkmal, the first ever Mozart Memorial Collection, housed from then until now in Pragues Klementinum, offer the opportunity to take a look at Mozarts standing in the early 19th century in Bohemia through the eyes of press and writing on music of the time (August Wilhelm Ambros, Wenzel Johann Tomaschek, Joseph Proksch, Ed. Murelli), as well as period arrangements of his works and the ways of their interpretation., Michaela Freemanová., Obsahuje seznam literatury, and České resumé na s. 102.
Studie Evy Veselovské se zabývá notovanými kodexy, které vznikly na území dnešního Slovenska od 14. do začátku 16. století a do jejichž způsobu notace se promítl vliv českého kulturního prostředí., Recent research of Slovakian medieval notated codices and manuscript fragments raised an important fact: the written culture of the late 14th and 15th centuries in Slovakia was strongly influenced by education from Czech lands. Particularly between 1370 and 1520, the direct impact of the scribal notation tradition from Czech lands to Slovak area can be detected in a number of Slovakian music sources. Codices and dozens of manuscript fragments documenting Bohemian notation in the Slovak geographical area have become the subject of research, along with the systematization, analysis and evaluation of all currently known and edited medieval notated sources from Slovakia. The main purpose of this research is to organise the information gained from these sources, and to determine the general structural features of Bohemian notation in Slovakia., Eva Veselovská., Rubrika: Studie, and Slovenské resumé na s. 376, anglický abstrakt na s. 337.
A large number of songs have been preserved in the Strahov Codex (ca. 1465/67-1470), an important collection of polyphony from the latter half of the fifteenth century. These songs were once generally regarded as cantiones in Latin or as instrumental compositions, but a detailed study of this repertoire shows that the manuscript is an important source of secular compositions, and especially of chansons. Most of these songs have been preserved only in this manuscript. Questions remain as to when they were composed and how they found their way into a manuscript that originated in one of the Catholic regions of Bohemia., Lenka Hlávková-Mračková., and České resumé na s. 270.
