1	Symphony No. 1 in F Major, Op. 17, By Zdeněk Fibich: An Amalgamation of Czech and German Musical Styles Dunbar, David Arthur, Dunbar, David Arthur January 2017 (has links) The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Symphony No. 1 in F major, Op. 17, by Zdeněk Fibich embodies musical style features associated with both Czech and German composers of the nineteenth century. The identification of these style features is accomplished by comparing and contrasting Fibich's Symphony No. 1 in F major with works by other prominent Czech and German composers whose music was performed and well-known at the time. Particular emphasis is placed on the aural similarities between Fibich's first symphony and that of other composers' works in an effort to show Fibich's unique hybrid compositional style. A second area of focus is the rise in European nationalism during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Due to Fibich's mixed Czech and German heritage, nationalism is explored in order to ascertain what effect, if any, nationalistic bias might have had on the overall reception of Fibich's music and the composer's ability to have his music performed during his lifetime. czech fibich nationalism style symphonies symphony
2	Opera Bouře od Zdeňka Fibicha / Opera The Tempest by Zdeněk Fibich Šedivý, Marek January 2017 (has links) The diploma thesis deals with opera The Tempest, Op. 40 by Zdeněk Fibich. Its task is to clarify the genesis of the work, its place in the context of the opera works written by this composer, mapping productions of the Tempest in Czech Republic and Slovakia, supplemented by a pictorial attachment from some historical productions. The main focus of the thesis is the dramatic analysis of the opera, which describes the basic differences between libretto (written by Vrchlický) and the William Shakespeare's original. The thesis also deals with the basic characteristic of characters and contains a list of Leitmotifs with examples. In the end of the thesis you will find a music and dramatic analysis of three particular places of the opera Tempest.
3	Zdeněk Fibich: Nálady, dojmy a upomínky / Zdeněk Fibich: Moods, Impressions, and Souvenirs Špilauer, Jiří January 2018 (has links) The dissertation deals with a complete cycle of piano pieces by Zdeněk Fibich called The Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences. The cycle has been largely presented in the literature as a `composer's love diary`, used to search for identical motifs across the composer's late work and understood in the context of programme music. The aim of the dissertation is to evaluate objectively this present majority view and to put a new view on it, to inform about the circumstances of the comprehensive complete edition of The Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences, to analyse the ensemble as a set of lyrical piano pieces with their specific purely musical features and to place the Fibich cycle into the context of the lyrical piano piece of the late 19th century. The work focuses mainly on musical- structural analysis based on grasping the form of compositions with the predominant way of thematic-motivational construction, observation and comparison of tonal fitting, dimension, prescribed times and searching for motivational, cyclic and other possible links. The results of the work enable us to view The Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences as a unique cycle of lyrical piano pieces from the end of the 19th century with their typical characteristics and key features of the musical kind and also show the unique...
4	Variace B-dur Zdeňka Fibicha / The Variations in B-flat Major of Zdeněk Fibich Rudovský, Martin January 2013 (has links) The discovery of the autograph of Fibich's Variations in B-flat major for piano from 1877 not only extends the collection of known and completed compositions by Zdeněk Fibich, but they also present the single preserved concert variations for piano within his oeuvre. Thanks to the Variations, we can have a better insight into Fibich's compositional technique, for in 1883, he reworked them for a string quartet. Among other things, the comparative analysis reveals the latter work to be an unjustly neglected treasure. Also interesting is the fact that the origin of other significant sets of variations for piano by Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák and Leoš Janáček falls into the same period as Fibich's opus. Following the discovery in 2008 and the consequent study in Hudební věda ('Musicology') magazine, this thesis further focuses on the dedicatee, Prof. Josef Sallač (1849 - 1929), and reveals him as a prominent figure of the musical world, esp. in the 2nd half of the 19th century. This is one of the reasons why a search for Sallač's archive would be advisable, as it might contain valuable manuscripts. It was, after all, thanks to him that Fibich's Sonata in D major for violin and piano from 1875 was preserved. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
