This study is dedicated to documenting the relationship between these two important musicians on the basis of excerpts from extant written sources. The most important documentation of contacts between Vaclav Jan Tomasek (1774-1850) and Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826), who worked in Prague from 1813 until 1817 as Kapellmeister of the Estates Theatre, is Tomaseks autobiography published in Prague in 1845-1850 in a yearbook titled Libussa. We find additional brief documentation in Weber's diaries and in the correspondence of both men addressed to other persons. Tomasek's autobiography is also important documentation of how Weber's works were viewed by the German public and music critics., Obsahuje seznam literatury, and Anglické resumé na s. 82.
The musicologists examining the share of liturgical chant in Czech language in the Jagellonian period often encounter the problem of lacking historical sources. Therefore it is surprising that the treatise of Václav Koranda the Younger, an important official of the Utraquist church in his time, has not yet been studied in detail. My study tries to square up with this; it analyses first the content of the treatise and its possible outreach to the liturgical practice, then it brings new observations on the development of liturgical chant translation into Czech made on the basis of the study of the Kolín cantional. At the end I have attached the complete edition of the Koranda‘s treatise.
