| Description | The introduction of this contribution was focused on a classification of film music and its theoretical, aesthetical and general artistic bases. The main part of the paper dealt with partial results of a research on the music preferences conducted by the Department of Music at the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University. Concretely, it was an analysis of free answers given by the respondents, who did an assessment of chosen music samples in an audio questionnaire, where representatives of the „neo-styles“, as well as the avant-garde turned up. Many answers referred to parallels between classical and film music. On basis of the results, some possible reasons were set out, that might be responsible for the mentioned similarities. All was followed with music samples from both areas of music production, purposefully chosen in order to compare similar ways of composing. |
