The renowned musicologist Zdenka Fischmann was a tireless propagator of the music of her native Czechoslovakia. This book of essays, published by the SVU, the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences which has chapters in major cities around the world, is a tribute to her work. Among the eighteen essays are articles on the first Czech opera, Gustav Mahler and Bohemia, the Max Brod centennial, music in the Terezin concentration camp, and Czech music in Texas.
