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.
The diaries of the Bohemian nobleman Johann Nepomuk Chotek (1773-1824) are an important new source for the history of music in Prague. In particular, they describe 17 concerts given by the Society of Musicians between 1804 and 1822 in the Estates Theater. The programmes of seven concerts were previously unknown. Chotek not only gives accurate dates for the performances, but also names the pieces and performers, thus supplementing the information in Michaela Freemanová‘s 2003 article on this society. As a trained music connoisseur, Chotek also critiques the orchestra and singers, judges the music, and describes the reaction of the public., Rita Steblin., and České resumé na s. 61, anglický abstrakt na s. 47.

Studie Michaely Freemanové se zabývá působením pražské varhanické školy, která patřila k významným vzdělávacím institucím v čechách v 19. století., In the early decades of the 19th century, three important music institutions were founded in Prague – the Tonkünstler Wittwen-und-Waisen Societät, the Conservatoire and the Organists College, opened in 1830 by the Verein der Kunstfreunde für Kirchenmusik in Böhmen (the Society for Sacred Music in Bohemia, founded in 1826). The aim of the Society was to awaken an interest among the wider public in sacred music which, at that time, was neglected and in decline. The Organists College offered tuition to members of the Christian churches as well as to Jewish communities. During the one-year course, later extended to two, and subsequently to three years, the organists, and later also choirmasters, acquired a knowledge of harmony, counterpoint, figured bass, improvisation and composition, and also learnt how to perform sacred music. The school was attended by numerous outstanding musicians, from home and abroad, among them Antonín Dvořák and Leoš Janáček; in 1890, it merged with the Prague Conservatoire., Michaela Freenamová., Rubrika: Studie, and České resumé na s. 392, anglický abstrakt na s. 369.
