drawing such names as Emanuel Chvála, Karel Kovařovic, Otakar Ostrčil, and Zdeněk Nejedlý, the notorious critic and subsequent politician. Much of the reception of Fibich's music in the early twentieth century is a result of these students' efforts after their teacher's death, especially in Nejedlý's highly polemical campaigns enacted in a series of monographs and articles that sought to redress what he considered to be past inequities. Although this served to bring Fibich's music to greater attention, subsequent scholarship has had to deal with the spectre of Nejedlý's intensely personal bias. There is a Fibich Society which has organized projects such as Vladimir Hudec's Thematic Catalog (below) and much else. Works Fibich's best-known work, Poème, began life as an unnamed piano piece (no. 139 in D flat) in his cycle Moods, Impressions and Reminiscences. He reused the material in his symphonic idyll At Twilight from where it was adapted after his death by the violinist Jan Kubelik and given the title Poème. This has been published and recorded in numerous arrangements, one of which was My Moonlight Madonna to English lyrics by Paul Francis Webster. In 1933 the tune was popularly harmonized by William Scotti. Bibliography Hudec, Vladimír. Zdeněk Fibich. Prague: SPN, t. MTZ, Olomouc, 1971. Hudec, Vladimír. Zdenek Fibich.
