General-Bass is a certain characteristic system of writing and playing an accompaniment in the 17th and 18 century for keyboard and harmonic instruments used in chamber or orchestra music. General-Bass evolved during those two centuries. First theoretical references of general-bass technique are dated around 1600. It was a renaissance motet technique die away and improvisation and polyphony baroque technique born time. Lodovico Viadanas treatise Cento concerti ecclesiastici from 1602 is a first written documented instruction of this technique. Centre of general-basses development expanded from Italy to Germany and France. There was a separate specific evolve and theoretical treatises of general-bass in each country. Despite of the separation there was a influence and inspiration between of the particular country stiles of general-basses praxes. The main representative are Francesco Gasparini, Georg Muffat and Francesco Geminiani in Italy Jean-Henri d´Anglebert, François Dandrieu, Michel de St. Lambert in France and Johann Mattheson, Johann David Heinichen and Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany. Currently we are experiencing return of studies of historical general-basses treatises and arises modern textbooks of general-bass. There are two Czech translations of Jespera Bøje Christensens and Barbara Marie Willis textbooks available. Both authors based their textbooks on historical pedagogical systems and rules. Michel Laizé wrote textbook of General-Bass based on his own methodical scheme in 2001 in France.

Dissertation titled Issues of musical programs on Czech Television II deals with the legitimacy of the occurrence of classical music on Czech TV, its quantitative volume and its relationship to other musical genres in the broadcasting. It compares the number of produced hours of the various musical genres at different times of Czechoslovak Television and Czech Television in Prague (the main redaction of musical broadcasting, Creative group Radim Smetana and Vitezslav Sykora, the Music and drama department and the Drama, music and children's department), esp. during years 1980 - 1990, 2000 - 2005 and 2006 - 2012 with researches of a leading Czech musicologist Mikulas Bek which deal with musical preferences of the Czech population and are unique due to its scale and treatment. The work also seeks to highlight the importance of making popular educational programs that improve viewers' orientation in more demanding genres of symphonic, opera and chamber music. It also mentions the necessity of teamwork with respect to a sufficiently broad range of music programs and appreciates musical education needed for the production of these programs.

Roman Mlejnek Music and Emotions: Psychological Aspects with Regard to the Origin and Evolution of Music Dissertation thesis Abstract Music and emotion is of deep interest in today's research in many different disciplines. This thesis summarizes contemporary knowledge of emotion and analyses music's related phenomena which could enlighten the importance of emotionality (sound, speech, play, movement). Interindividual differences are discussed mainly with regard to musicality. Selected problems (especially from music aesthetics and music theory) are commented from the point of view of contemporary psychology. In the first place, this thesis notices common psychological mechanisms working in music of different types, times and cultures. Special consideration is devoted to the question of the origins of music and it's evolutionary basis. The thesis includes two empirical studies based on questionnaire surveys. The first one explores Janáček's collection of speech melodies with regard to it's potential as research stimuli for research in music and speech. The second one deals with physically experienced reactions and is focussed on musicians and their differences to non- musicians. Key words: music, emotion, origins of music

The goal of this Master’s thesis is to create a device that is able to control MIDI musical electronics, via use of non-electrical sensors as un-usual control elements and module Arduino Diecimila used as the processing element. This thesis is dealing with this given problem from a complex point of view, from design to actual realisation of the device. In the process of the thesis the solution for an optical proximity sensor and for resistance weight sensor is delivered. For both of them the adjustments circuitry is designed including interfaces, and further on it is constructed on PCB board. Then, control software, which processes the input sensor signal into a stream of MIDI data, which is sent to the computer as a slave device, is developed. The runtime of the program and the behaviour of MIDI elements can be controlled with a sub-protocol based on MIDI SysEx messages.

KOZÁKOVÁ, I. The use of music in selected types of stores. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2017. The diploma thesis focuses on the use of music in selected types of stores. To evaluate the current state, store visits (n = 62) were selected. To find out how consumers perceive background music and how it affects them, a questionnaire survey, conducted in laboratory conditions (n = 104) and in-depth interviews (n = 41), were used. Respondents were aged 18-30 years. On the basis of the data obtained, the impact of music on the customer in the business environment was determined. There was no evidence of dependence between product price evaluation and the presence of reproduced music in a laboratory experiment. The research results enabled within the target group to formulate appropriate recommendations for the vendors.

The Body of Music examines in what sense we can and must ascribe some sort of a body to music, which has traditionally been considered the most ideal and metaphysical of arts, and it seeks to analyze different aspects of corporeality in music. Its aim is to show that the body of music cannot be reduced to mere physical vibrations or simply to the condition sine qua non of musical experience. The body is always somehow active in music, it co-creates it, inspires it, it forms its significance or signifiance. Simultaneously it is itself transformed by music, it is played out in and through music. First, the body becomes apparent when we look at music as a process and activity rather than as a product. The body of a musician is that of a perpetual learner, it transforms itself, it is forced to think by itself and while "performing" music it has to breathe life into it, actualize it. Second, confronted with the process of learning and a musical instrument we come across the body of sound: something like the obstinacy of the material, irreducible to the intelligible strata of the musical sound. Sound is a complex phenomenon, whose material layer is itself productive of meaning. Third, there is the body of the listener, which is similar to that of the musician in that it too has to "perform", compose the music....
