ZDENEK FIBICH (1850-1900) is a fellowcountryman of Dvorak, and like him, was born of simple folk. This son of a forest ranger became one of the Conductors of the National Theatre at Prague, and wrote several Operas, not so highly ' national ' as those of Smetana and Dvorak, but in a romantic style recalling that of Weber.
