Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
String Quartet Composers from Fibich to Sibelius
This week, Bill broadens his look at the string quartet, focusing on lesser-known late-19th-century composers. He begins with Poème for violin and piano by Czech composer Zdeněk Fibich. Bill says, 'The music is familiar, but the composer may not be.' 'Poème' was the score for one of George Balanchine's first ballets. Fibich was among the European composers born in the mid-19th century featured here, such as Hugo Wolf, Vincent d’Indy, and Ernest Chausson. Bill also adds New England composer Amy Beach to this group.
