Fuchs, Theodor


(b Sassin [now Šaštín, Slovakia], 4 Feb 1873; d Bucharest, 9 May 1953). Romanian composer and pianist of Czech descent. Settling in Romania as a child, he studied with Eduard Wachmann at the Bucharest Conservatory (1880–84) and Julius Epstein, J.N. Fuchs, Robert Fuchs and Wilhelm Rauch at the Vienna Conservatory (1884–90). After three years working as a conductor and pianist in the Czech lands he returned to Bucharest to work as a piano teacher, opera conductor and concert pianist, though his chief passion remained composition. A recital partner of violinists including Elman, Enescu, Huberman, Kreisler and Thibaud, he was greatly valued for his technical capabilities and expressive nuance. He also edited the review Arta muzicală (1911–12).

Fuchswild, Johannes


(b ?Ellwangen, 2nd half of the 15th century). German composer. From 1508 to 1512–13 he was a singer in the court chapel at Stuttgart. It is not known whether he left Stuttgart when the chapel was disbanded in 1514 or whether he left later, for it is possible that like other members of the chapel he had another living in Stuttgart. He may be identifiable with ‘Johannes Fochss de Elbangen’ who matriculated at Leipzig University in 1483 and obtained the bachelor’s degree in 1485. Altogether four four-voice songs by Fuchswild have survived in printed collections and in manuscript. A keyboard arrangement in Fridolin Sicher’s organ tablature (CH-SGs Cod.530) may be by Fuchswild. Of his songs, the two printed by Schöffer (RISM 15132) have a certain melodic vigour. His compositional technique, similar to that of his contemporaries, is versatile if not without awkward passages. In deference to an older style he used free motivic connection between parts rather than strict imitation, and in the song Kein Trost auf Erd there are elements of an ostinato treatment of motifs in the bass part.

Fučik, Julius (Arnošt Vilém)


(b Prague, 18 July 1872; d Berlin, 25 Sept 1916). Czech bandmaster and composer. From 1885 to 1891 he studied at the Prague Conservatory with Bennewitz (violin), Milde (bassoon) and Dvořák (composition), and from 1891 to 1894 he played under J.F. Wagner in the band of the 49th Austro-Hungarian Regiment stationed at Krems. Afterwards he returned to Prague, playing the bassoon at the German Theatre and later in the symphony orchestra of the National Ethnographic Exhibition, and also playing in the Czech Wind Trio. He joined the orchestra at the National Theatre at Zagreb in 1895 and was bandmaster in the Croatian town of Sisak. In 1897 he was appointed bandmaster of the 86th Austro-Hungarian Regiment, stationed initially at Sarajevo and from 1900 in Budapest. During this time he composed several highly successful marches, notably Einzug der Gladiatoren and also some fine waltzes of almost symphonic proportions. In 1910 he was made bandmaster of the 92nd Regiment at Theresienstadt (now Terezín), playing in Prague during the winter and touring Bohemian towns during the summer. After his retirement in 1913 he married and settled in Berlin, where he formed the Prager Tonkünstler-Orchester and a music publishing firm, Tempo Verlag. His activities were cut short by the outbreak of war and the onset of cancer.
