    Born in 1850 in the village of Všebořice, Bohemia, he is one of the most prominent Czech composers.

    He began composing at the recommendation of František Černý. In 1864, he was appointed organist at St. Ignatius Church. From 1864, he attended Zikmund Kolešovský's private music school. In 1865, he enrolled at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he studied piano with Moscheles, harmony with Richter and counterpoint with Jadassohn. He incorporated Czech folk songs and national dances and composed operas based on Czech legends, though their form can be described as German Romantic. He skillfully fused the melancholic Czech folk songs and dance rhythms with German Romantic compositional structures. Among his works is Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences, a collection of piano pieces that served as a musical diary of his romantic relationship with his student Anežka Schulzová, with whom he had an intimate relationship for about ten years starting around 1893. Anežka's presence significantly influenced Fibich's compositional creativity.

    His surviving works are diverse, including orchestral music, operas, stage dramas, melodramas, piano works, chamber music, and vocal compositions.
