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