"After Smetana and Dvořák [Fibich] was the most prominent Czech composer of the second half of the 19th century, notably of operas and orchestral and piano music. His concert and stage melodramas were some of the most ambitious and effective ever written and prompted other Czech composers to write in the same genre, thus creating a sizable and unique repertory for Czech music." John Tyrrell and Judith A. Mabary in Grove Music Online.
