Studie Roberta Škardy se zabývá tvorbou českých skladatelů, využívajících ve svých kompozicích polystylovost a koláž, stejně jako teoretickými aspekty takového typu děl a jejich reflexí v odborných časopisech., The topic of this study is the music of Czech composers based mainly on the juxtaposition of styles, stylizations of historical or jazz music, and the use of quotations in the years between 1960 and 2000. It deals with reconstruction of the meanings of the period musical terms polystylism and collage, and it maps out the use of these terms in the reception of this music at the time and in the compositional theory and practice of Czech musical culture during that forty-year period. The main sources for the analysis of terms were reviews, articles, and scholarly studies in music journals along with the contemporary statements of the composers themselves at the time and at the present. In that context, the study follows the leading representatives from among composers and critics, derives the meanings of the terms polystylism and collage, and places them in the context of Czech music of that period. As an example of a specific composition reflected upon in the context of polystylism and collage and exhibiting a number of elements typical of this compositional orientation, the study contains an analysis of the composition Útěk (The Flight) written by Arnošt Parsch in 1973., Robert Škarda., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 199, anglický abstrakt 169.
Studie Tomáše Hlobila se zabývá náplní přednášek estetika Johanna Heinricha Dambecka, které Dambeck přednášel během svého pedagogického působení na pražské univerzitě., This article examines contemporaneous reports about two versions of lectures in aesthetics, which were given at Prague University by Johann Heinrich Dambeck (1774–1820). They were recorded by the publisher Joseph Adolf Hanslik (1785–1859) in a manuscript summary in 1819 and a two-volume book published in 1822 and 1823. The article presents a comparison of the two sources in order to determine which parts of the commentary originate with Dambeck and which with Hanslik. Considering the large scope and the bibliographical nature of the chief part of the appendices to the book, the author of the article concludes that they originated not with Dambeck, but with Hanslik., Tomáš Hlobil., Rubrika: Studie, and Německé resumé na s. 130, anglický abstrakt na s. 123.
Studie Karla Veverky se zabývá mešními díly hudebního skladatele Antonia Caldary, jejichž opisy se dochovaly v hudebních sbírkách v Praze, se zaměřením na významnou sbérku hudebnin z kůru pražských křižovníků., This study deals with individual aspects and problems of research on the Masses by Antonio Caldara with source materials held in Prague. Representing the basic material are two copies from the collection of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star along with concordant sources amassed from Czech and foreign archives. The effectiveness of the standard methods used for studying musical sources is put to the test on a selected sampling of material. The comparison of individual copies helps answer questions not only about provenience or filial relationships between materials, but also about period performance practice. The goal of the study is to make at least a partial contribution towards systematic research on the musical life of Prague in the first half of the 18th century, when Caldara’s Masses were significantly represented in church music collections., Karel Veverka., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 93, anglický abstrakt 81.
