The Czech composer Zdenko Fibich (1850-1900) wrote about 700 works, including a series of 350 piano pieces in the form of a musical diary entitled ' Moods, Impressions, and Memories '. With the exception of one of these pieces, Poem ' (popularised by Kubelik in a transcription for violin), Fibich's music is practically unknown in England. His orchestral works consist of three symphonies, five concert overtures, and six symphonic poems. The overture ' A Night at Karlstein a melodious, colourful, and clearly designed little work, was inspired by a comedy by the Czech national poet Vrchlicky.
