Luboš Fišer (1935-1999) is known in Czechoslovakia for his concert and chamber music as much as he is for his music for Czech films. Fišer’s Report has been performed by the American Wind Symphony Orchestra in Pittsburgh, and in 1966 he won first prize at the UNESCO International Composer’s Competition in Paris. His music was described thusly in a program accompanying a performance of his music in Prague: “His style is developed to a brilliant nature; Fišer achieves maximum concentration and plastic impartation within his musical form, always compact and condensed, giving the listener an impression of the presence of only minimal number of notes. The effect of his music is not only in distinctly shaped thematic material, but also in contrast. The author likes to concentrate on a number of clean-cut contrasts in a small space. This principle is best apparent in Fišer’s’s one-movement sonatas.”
