Abstract (eng)
The objective of this thesis is to investigate and outline the reception of minimal music within the contemporary pianistic context. Motivated by a personal affinity for this genre, both as a performer and listener, the central aim is to analyse how minimalist philosophy, along with its techniques, has been appropriated, transformed, and reinterpreted from its inception to the present day. By examining the works of pioneering composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich, alongside contemporary representatives like Nils Frahm or John Adams, the study seeks to uncover the aesthetic principles that underpin minimalism and their influence on the modern piano repertoire. Furthermore, this research will explore the correspondence between minimalism, film music, and
popular culture, while also considering the rise of postminimalism and the contributions of a new generation of composers. The discussion presented here is not intended to be exhaustive but aims to complement the broader cultural discourse on minimalism, enhancing its understanding within the field of contemporary music studies.
