Zden?k Fibich


 

Zden?k Fibich (December 21 1850October 15 1900) was a Czech composer of classical music, including chamber works (including two string quartets, a piano trio, piano quartet and a quintet for piano, strings and winds), symphonic poems, three symphonies, at least seven operas, the most famous probably the Bride of Messina; melodramas including the substantial trilogy Hippodamia, liturgical music including a mass - a missa brevis; and a large cycle (almost 400 pieces, from the 1890s) of piano works called Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences among other works. The piano cycle served as a diary of sorts of his love for a piano pupil.
