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 Velické se zabývá okolnostmi vzniku a rané recepci první opery hudebního skladatele Bohuslava Martinů "Voják a tanečnice"., The first opera by Bohuslav Martinů (from the total of 16) named Voják a tanečnice (The Soldier and the Dancer), H.162 was created in the initial years of Martinů’s stay in Paris (1926–1927), when the effort to reflect different contemporary music trends and influences can be traced in his compositions. Voják a tanečnice is an original example of absorbing such influences. Together with the librettist, Jan Löwenbach, they tried to create a “new opera buffa”, which was not understood by the contemporary reviewers. The opera was first performed in Brno in 1928. The frequency of the first performances of Martinů’s stage works in the National Theatre in Brno indicates that the first performance of his first opera was not a coincidence but a part of targeted dramaturgy at the Brno stage., Eva Velická., Rubrika: Studie, and Anglické resumé na s. 167, anglický abstrakt 139.
Studie Markéty Kratochvílové je věnována osobnosti hudebního skladatele a dirigenta Otakara Ostrčila, avšak zaměřuje se na jeho ediční činnost. Autorka se zde věnuje Ostrčilově participaci na kritickém vydávání děl Bedřicha Smetany, kterýžto projekt realizoval Zdeněk Nejedlý ve 20. a 30. letech 20. století. Prodanou nevěstou se Ostrčil zabýval od roku 1924 až do své smrti v roce 1935 a edicí se zabýval nejen jako standardní editor, ovšem velmi podrobně se vyjadřoval i k podobě hudební sazby a dalším parametrům edice., The present study familiarises the reader with the activity of the composer and conductor Otakar Ostrčil as a music editor and in particular his work on the critical edition of Bedřich Smetana’s opera Prodaná nevěsta (The Bartered Bride), which was realised as part of the first attempt at publishing a complete works edition of Smetana’s music between 1924 and 1936 under the leadership of Zdeněk Nejedlý. The study is based on correspondence exchanged between Ostrčil and Nejedlý and is placed in the context of efforts to publish Smetana’s works during the first decades of the twentieth century as well as the context of Ostrčil’s life and works., Markéta Kratochvílová., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 179-180, anglický abstrakt na s. 169.
