JOHN TYRRELL/JUDITH A. MABARY

1. Life.

He continued his training in Leipzig (1865–7), where he studied the piano with Moscheles and theory with E.F. Richter at the Leipzig Conservatory until Christmas 1866. He then studied privately with Salomon Jadassohn, who encouraged an interest in Bach and counterpoint. In addition to several songs and a second symphony (G minor), Fibich wrote three operas while in Leipzig: two works to his own text (Kapellmeister in Venedig, 1866, and Gutta von Guttenfels, probably in 1867) and one and a half acts to Geibel's Loreley (1866–7), which he knew from Max Bruch's setting. After eight months in Paris (1868–9), where he made his living as a piano teacher and pursued his interest in art and sculpture, he concluded his studies in Mannheim (1869–70) with the conductor Vinzenz Lachner, who staged Wagner's Meistersinger during Fibich's stay. After his return to Bohemia, he lived with his parents first in Žáky (south of Čáslav) (1870–71), then, when his father retired in Prague. During this period Fibich devoted himself to composition, producing several songs, including a series of pieces to texts from Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, as well as his first extant opera, Bukovín, to a libretto obtained six years earlier, at his request, from Karel Sabina, the librettist for Smetana's The Bartered Bride.

In February 1873 Fibich married Růžena Hanušová and in September accepted a choir-training post in Vilnius. Růžena died in October 1874 shortly after she and her husband moved back to Prague, and in the summer of 1875 Fibich married Růžena's older sister Betty (1846–1901), a contralto at the Provisional and National Theatres who created leading roles in several of Smetana's and Fibich's operas.

From 1875 to 1881 Fibich was deputy conductor and choirmaster of the Provisional Theatre in Prague. Adolf Čech was principal conductor and Fibich conducted mostly operettas. From 1878 to 1881 he was also choirmaster of the Russian Orthodox Church, which he found more congenial and less time-consuming. (He succeeded Karel Bendl in both positions.) It was also during this period that he began writing reviews for the periodical Dalibor. After 1881 he turned entirely to composition and private teaching (piano and theory) when a post at the Prague Conservatory failed to materialize.

In 1886 Anežka Schulzová (1868–1905), the daughter of Ferdinand Schulz (1835–1905), a well-known historian, writer and literary critic, began to study the piano with Fibich. In 1892, when she started composition lessons, Schulzová began to have a profound effect on her teacher. The passionate relationship that developed was the inspiration for many of Fibich's later compositions. Schulzová became Fibich's collaborator and wrote the librettos for his last three operas, Hedy, Šarka and Pád Arkuna (‘The Fall of Arkona’). In 1900 František Urbánek's publishing firm in Prague released Schulzová's book Zdenko Fibich: eine musikalische silhouette under the pseudonym Carl Ludwig Richter.

During the last year of his life, Fibich returned to public service in a temporary post as Dramaturg for the National Theatre (1899–1900). The theatre management changed shortly after Fibich's appointment and abolished the position, forcing him to return briefly to private teaching, despite declining health and a weak heart. He died of pneumonia on 15 October 1900, less than a month before the première of his last opera, The Fall of Arkona.

2. Style.

While historians have often distinguished Fibich from Smetana and Dvořák because he seems less ‘Czech’, it should be noted that all three were significantly influenced by foreign models and all were, to some extent, followers of Wagner in their concern with programmatic content and their devotion to opera. But it was perhaps Fibich, more than his contemporaries, who proved to be the most tenacious in the search for extramusical inspirations and convincing means of translating them to music. The range of works inspired by such sources is wide, from personal experience in the symphonic poem V podvečer (‘At Twilight’) and the piano suite Z hor (‘From the Mountains’) to the illustration of Schulzová's physical attributes in the ‘piano diary’ Nálady, dojmy a upomínky (‘Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences’), interpretations of art in the piano suite Malířské studie (‘Studies of Paintings’) and nature in the symphonic poem Vesna (‘Spring’). His stage works show a similar diversity, drawing their inspiration from Czech legend (Šárka), Greek myth (Hippodamia) and some of the greatest writers in the wider scope of European literature, including Schiller, Shakespeare and Byron.

Fibich was also responsible for an impressive number of firsts in Czech music. His nationalistic symphonic poem Záboj, Slavoj a Luděk (‘Záboj, Slavoj and Luděk’, 1873), the earliest based on a Czech subject, inspired Smetana's cycle Má vlast. (The opening theme of Smetana's Vyšehrad, c1872–4, bears a striking resemblance to Záboj's theme. Both works also contain strategically important and substantial parts for the harp.) His Toman a lesní panna (‘Toman and the Wood Nymph’, 1874–5), based on František Čelakovský's ballad from the cycle Ohlas písní českých (‘Echo of Czech Songs’, 1839), antedated Dvořák's symphonic poems on K.J. Erben's ballads by more than 20 years. Fibich's concert melodramas heralded a Czech vogue for the genre, to which J.B. Foerster and Otakar Ostrčil made some of the most significant later contributions. (The most important successor to Fibich's staged melodrama Hippodamia, 1888–91, was Josef Suk's Radúz and Mahulena, 1897–8.)

Fibich is often referred to as the greatest Czech Romantic composer. A cultured man with a broad knowledge of art and literature as well as an extensive familiarity with music of the past, he numbered the poet Jaroslav Vrchlický and the aesthetician Otakar Hostinský among his friends. These two writers provided him with some of the best Czech opera librettos of the 19th century. In his development of the concert melodrama he achieved great popularity in a perilous medium and prepared the way for his unique achievement, the trilogy of stage melodramas Hippodamia.

Fibich was the master of a fluent technique that, in its manipulation and transformation of themes, was capable of great subtlety and extraordinary inventiveness. His large-scale works incorporate certain of Wagner's techniques, particularly the leitmotif, and shifts of harmony reminiscent of Smetana, with his own precise dramatic interpretations and sumptuous melodies, which include some of the most lyrical and luxuriant.

Broader aspects of Fibich's style can be related to three lines of development. Springtime subject matter and moods in his early music, culminating in the cantata Jarní romance (‘A Springtime Tale’, 1880–81), the tone poem Vesna (‘Spring’, 1881) and the F major Symphony (1877–83), stem from a love of nature formed during his youth and cherished throughout his life. He exhibits a fondness for the ballad and its melancholy, fearful and fatalistic moods, particularly in the works based on Erben's texts – the concert melodramas Štědrý den (‘Christmas Day’, 1875) and Vodník (‘The Water Goblin’, 1883) – and in the tone poem Toman and the Wood Nymph. In his operas this tendency is characterized by the prominent ‘fate’ themes that run from Bukovín (1870–71) to The Fall of Arkona (1898–9). A more intimate mode of expression was awakened by his liaison with Anežka Schulzová, resulting in the piano diary Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences (1892–9), which describes minute details of their relationship, as well as a series of female-centred operas, including Šárka, his most successful, to a libretto by Schulzová.

Although melodies and rhythms characteristic of folk music occur in the chamber pieces, along with several convincing polkas in the orchestral works, folklike music is not an organic feature in most of Fibich's compositions. Yet an enthusiastic German critic of The Tempest (1893–4) went perhaps too far when he described it as fundamentally German music (‘in seinen Wurzeln deutschen Musik’). While it is true that Schumann, Weber and Wagner were potent musical influences and while Fibich wrote his first operas and well over 100 songs to German texts, he was no less competent when he turned to Czech, devoting great care and skill to idiomatic word-setting.

Fibich's music is solidly crafted, with forceful rhythms and mellow orchestration rich in horns. His skilful use of chromatic harmony complements abundantly fertile melodic gifts and, like Smetana, he could manipulate constantly modulating phrases in such a way that they sounded forthright and unambiguous.

3. Instrumental works.

Some of Fibich's most effective orchestral writing is found in the symphonic poems and overtures. Noc na Karlštejně (‘A Night at Karlštejn [Castle]’, 1886), dedicated to Saint-Saëns, and the Komenský Overture (1892) are thematically ingenious (the former in its treatment of the rhythmically incisive first theme, the latter in the way in which the introductory chorale from the Amsterdam hymnbook, published by Komenský in 1659, provides the material for future themes in the Allegro). But in both cases it is their programmes, more than any other single factor, that seem to have sparked Fibich's imagination. His other programme music ranges from the general evocation of mood (as in Vigiliae, 1883–5, and the monothematic tone poem Spring, where transformations of a single theme suggesting different aspects of spring are enlivened by a polka in the middle section) to the Shakespeare tone poems (on Othello and The Tempest), in which he followed Smetana's plan in Richard III of elaborating a sonata-form structure with themes representing contrasting incidents and characters in the play without reproducing the story in detail. Záboj, Slavoj and Luděk, based on material from the Dvůr Králové manuscript, delineates musically the contrasting personalities of Záboj and Luděk while conveying specific events in the legend. Further examples include At Twilight, a reminder of evenings spent on Prague's Žofín island with his favourite companion, Anežka Schulzová, that incorporates the theme from no.139 of the piano diary (‘Poème’) and Toman and the Wood Nymph, which echoes in musical analogies almost every incident in Čelakovský's poem.

Fibich's chamber music was written mainly during the early part of his career, and includes several works for violin and piano duo, two piano trios, two string quartets and a piano quartet. The most important of his chamber works, however, is the last, a quintet for piano, clarinet, horn, violin and cello (1893). The use of material from the diary reveals the work's genesis in Fibich's relationship with Schulzová and conveys his happiness during the latter part of his career. Its unusual scoring provided the opportunity for an ingenious mixture of timbres to complement the work's melodic inventiveness.

Fibich's piano music includes several early sonatas for two hands, suites and arrangements for four hands, and the broadly conceived Velká teoreticko-praktická škola hry na klavír (‘Grand Theoretical and Practical School of Piano Playing’, 1883–7, compiled with Jan Malát), in which he incorporated several early works along with newly composed pieces. In addition, he completed two late suites for piano that were connected with his favourite pastimes: the cyclic From the Mountains (1887) based on his impressions of the Alps, where he frequently went for holidays (each piece is preceded by a motto from Vrchlický praising the mountain scenery), and Studies of Paintings (1898–9), consisting of five musical interpretations of paintings by Ruysdael, Pieter Bruegel, Fra Angelico (Fra Giovanni da Fiesole), Correggio and Watteau.

The most unusual of Fibich's piano works are the 376 Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences recording his love for Anežka Schulzová, to whom he presented six of the pieces as a birthday gift in 1893. The collection contains pieces that range from one line to several pages in many styles and moods. Many are in ternary or simple rondo form and some are grouped into suites. These miniatures assumed a special significance for Fibich and Schulzová. The cross-referencing among the pieces and quotations from other works by Fibich and other composers, represent specific situations in their relationship. Fibich also assigned private titles to the pieces but they were not included in the published scores. Except in a few obvious cases, the titles are more a code than a descriptive programme.

Zdeněk Nejedlý's commentary Zdeňka Fibicha milostný deník (‘Zdeněk Fibich's Erotic Diary’, 1925), based on a study of Fibich's annotations on many of the manuscripts and on Schulzová's own notes, brought the work's private messages into public view. Nejedlý's action provoked arguments about its propriety, but convincingly documented the diary's central significance for Fibich during the last phase of his career. Nejedlý's work explains the pieces’ non-chronological grouping for publication into sets of narrative ‘reminiscences’ (of specific events such as Schulzová's counterpoint lesson, their conversations, their walks along the street, Fibich's confession of love, meeting her parents, various journeys etc.), lyrical ‘impressions’ (many devoted, in comprehensive detail, to parts of Schulzová's body) and ‘moods’ (which combine features of the two other groupings, including a succession of pieces illustrating Schulzová in different clothes).

Fibich soon began to borrow thematic material from Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences for other works, including the E minor Symphony (no.3), the Quintet and the operas The Tempest, Hedy and Šárka, but the relationship of these works with the diary is often complex. Allusions to existing works sometimes illuminate their programmes, some pieces were written simultaneously with other non-diary works (e.g. Hedy), and some of the later pieces, despite the annotations for Schulzová's benefit, are transcriptions of earlier unpublished works. By late 1896, the pieces were becoming fewer and less clearly concerned with Schulzová. Though Fibich was not losing interest in her (he left his wife in 1897), he seemed more eager to throw his energies into large-scale works such as the Third Symphony and the later operas, with Schulzová as his librettist. By the time of his last opera, The Fall of Arkona, he was no longer adding to the diary nor does the opera contain references to it.

4. Vocal works.

Fibich's most important vocal music is concentrated in his operas and melodramas. The earliest extant operas, Bukovín (1870–71), which reveals his admiration for Weber with significant sections modelled on Der Freischütz, and Blaník (1874–7), dedicated to Smetana, were composed to quasi-historical texts by Smetana's librettists Karel Sabina and Eliška Krásnohorská respectively. But it was his next opera, Nevěsta messinská (‘The Bride of Messina’, 1882–3), to a libretto adapted from Schiller's tragedy by Hostinský, that has sometimes been praised as the finest Czech 19th-century tragic opera. Its dominant features of a severe declamatory style and a complex system of leitmotifs have led admirers to point to the influence of Gluck while critics have denounced it as an imitation of Wagner.

In Námluvy Pelopovy (‘The Courtship of Pelops’), Smír Tantalův (‘The Atonement of Tantalus’) and Smrt Hippodamie (‘Hippodamia's Death’), the trilogy of four-act works that make up the stage melodrama Hippodamia (1888–91), Fibich took both these features to their logical extreme and, in a further effort to balance words and music, assigned a speaking voice (with pitch and rhythm unspecified) to the continuous text against an accompaniment characterized by an intricate web of leitmotifs. Through careful control of texture and density in the orchestral writing he was able to avoid obscuring the simultaneously performed text, providing music that achieved a successful synthesis with the words.

In the Hippodamia trilogy, Fibich composed the most ambitious melodramas ever written. He knew Benda's Ariadne auf Naxos and Medea that had so impressed Mozart (from conducting them in 1875), as well as Schumann's declamatory ballads and his incidental music for Manfred with its numerous sections of melodrama. The Greek myths on which both Benda's melodramas and Fibich's Hippodamia are based contain an intense level of dramatic action to drive the works forward. But while Benda relied primarily on the alternation of text and music, Fibich presented text and music simultaneously for most of the work, a practice more closely related to Schumann's in the declamatory ballads. Fibich gained practical experience with this method of text setting in his concert melodramas on Czech and foreign ballads (in Czech translation). These works prepared the way for Hippodamia with its continuous instrumental component. Christmas Day (1875), written shortly after Toman and the Wood Nymph, represents a logical progression from narrative symphonic poem to narrative ballad set as melodrama. Like Pomsta květin (‘The Revenge of the Flowers’, 1877), Věčnost (‘Eternity’, 1878) and Královna Ema (‘Queen Emma’, 1883), it was written for piano and reciter (Fibich orchestrated Christmas Day in 1899). Christmas Day and The Water Goblin (1883, originally for orchestra and reciter), using well-known texts from Erben's collection of folktales Kytice, were by far the most popular of Fibich's concert melodramas. In both The Water Goblin and Hakon (1888) Fibich provides a continuous, symphonically developed companion for the text and in so doing leads directly to Hippodamia.

It was several years before Fibich returned to operatic stage works. Meanwhile his relationship with Schulzová had intensified and he had started the piano diary. Both changed the course of his later operas. From Hedy (1894–5) onwards all his operas were written to librettos by Schulzová and all focussed on women. Even in the preceding Tempest (1893–4), to Vrchlický's adaptation of Shakespeare), Fibich shifted the emphasis strongly towards Miranda and Ferdinand. Furthermore, Fibich's use of pieces from the diary, particularly in The Tempest and Hedy, shows that he was now frequently reworking existing music so that the principles on which he wrote The Bride of Messina no longer applied. Instead of the words dictating the course of the music, they are moulded into cooperation. While The Bride of Messina is set in a straightforward declamatory manner that leaves little room for set numbers and affords only the chorus an occasional ensemble, The Tempest and Hedy, in direct contrast, adopt operatic conventions that give voice to Fibich's superior melodic gifts in a collection of set numbers, arias, duets and, in Hedy, even a ballet that borrows heavily from the diary pieces. There is less of this ready-made music in Šárka (the main character may have been too stark a contrast to Schulzová), but it too was planned around set numbers, particularly the fine succession of pieces that depict the central incident of Čtirad and Šárka's mutual hatred turning to love. Šárka is Fibich's most straightforward and best-known opera in which he returned to a Czech subject at a time when he was being denounced as a Wagnerian (fig.2). The next opera, The Fall of Arkona, on the other hand, was based on the broader historical topic of early Christianity among the Baltic Slavs. Written in two parts, the one-act prologue Helga and the three-act Dargun, which takes place 20 years later, it experiments with a more conversational style (e.g. in the chamber-like prologue) that shows Fibich turning to new approaches, a trend cut short by his death a few weeks before the opera's première.
