DE Fibich's piano music; discovery of manuscript
AB The report deals with the Variations in B flat major for piano by Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) which Vladimir Hudec, author of the Zdenek Fibich: Tematicky katalog [Zdenek Fibich: Thematic Catalogue], believed to have been lost. Its complete autograph, however, was recently discovered by the author of this article in the music collection of the Prague Hlahol Choral Society. The discovery of this composition, therefore, has substantially changed the existing knowledge of the work-as shown in this paper, describing its context, such as the Fibich sources linked to it (including the Moser catalogue and the estate of Stanislav Kamenicky). The article also points out the discrepancies found in the secondary literature.
