The Secret Diary
A Narrative Suite for Piano
Zdeněk Fibich (1850-1900)
A curated and newly edited piano suite drawn from Moods, Impressions, and Reminiscences, Op. 41, by Zdeněk Fibich.
Fibich began this private musical diary in 1892, inspired by his student and muse, Anežka Schulzová. When published, the works received generic descriptors or tempo markings, obscuring their personal character. Later musicological research restored the links between the published scores and the private inspirations behind the music.
This edition presents eleven selected pieces, assembled into a coherent narrative cycle with descriptive titles informed by historical commentary. The suite includes the best-known miniature by the composer, commonly published as Poem. The music has been carefully edited for modern performance -- notation clarified, ambiguous passages refined, and hand placement made more explicit -- while preserving the original text and expressive intent.
Included:
Chapter I - Moods of Desire
Our Harmony (No. 36)
Violet Dress (No. 44)
Unspoken Yearning (No. 8)
Chapter II - Impressions of the Muse
Delicate Hand (No. 74)
Quiet Dreaming (No. 50)
Soft and Tender (No. 88)
Hidden Note (No. 123)
Chapter III - Shared Reminiscences
Impatience on the Journey (No. 143)
A Day Together (No. 145)
Sanctuary on Žofín Island (No. 139, also known as Poem)
A Final Thought (No. 171)
The suite is intended to be experienced as a complete cycle rather than as a collection of isolated miniatures.
