Fibich, Zdenek Songs BA 11558 9790260108653 The Czech composer Zdenek Fibich (1850 1900) had a keen interest in classical German literature. It therefore comes as no surprise that he had already set songs to texts by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe while still a student at the Leipzig Conservatory. Between 1865 and 1871 he composed 16 songs on texts by this famous German author for voice and piano. Ten of them have survived: the song An den Mond , dating from 1869, and nine further songs from Goethe s novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre were composed immediately after Fibich s return to Prague in 1871. All ten now appear here in a single-volume Urtext edition edited by Barbora Kubecková.
