The Mystery of Fibich

[quirky]

I am about to do my diploma in piano performance in a couple of months and one component of the exam is a Viva Voce, where I am to discuss the pieces I performed and theire composers etc;in detail with the examiner. Does anyone out there know much about Zdenko Fibich and his piano works Moods, Impressions, and Reminiscences? Also, does anyone know much about his Poem? I know that it's a transcription of one of his works. I found a Wikipedia article but it dosen't have enough. Any fact, no matter how small would be seriously appreciated. THANKS!!

I haven't seen what these articles contain, but they do contain some of your search criteria, so it may be a good start!
