Six Pieces by Fritz Kreisler Transcribed for Alto Saxophone and Piano. Par KREISLER FRITZ. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time. His brilliant technique and rich tone produced a characteristic sound that was and remains immediately identifiable. This collection features six pieces that Kreisler composed or transcribed for violin and piano, here transcribed for alto saxophone and piano. Especially well known are the original pieces Liebesleid and Schon Rosmarin, both of which Kreisler attributed to the now-forgotten composer Joseph Lanner. Caprice Viennois and Rondino on a Theme of Beethoven are likewise original pieces from early in Kreisler's career, which he would regularly feature as concert encores. The Old Refrainand Midnight Bells are transcriptions, the former of a Viennese popular song and the latter of an excerpt from the operetta Der Opernball by Richard Heuberger. In these six transcriptions, the instrument changes, yet the value remains. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time.

Par KREISLER FRITZ. Apart from the collection of Classical Manuscripts composed by the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) which he had passed off as transcriptions of settings of old masters, the violinist published original works early on as well. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, thus sweetening many a concert with this 'musical confectionery'. Famous tunes are, for example, Liebesfreud, Liebesleid and Schön Rosmarin, his old Viennese dance tunes, in which Kreisler evoked the coffee-house atmosphere of his home town with beautiful melodies and mellifluous harmonies. Another wonderful example is his Marche miniature viennoise, with its humorous theme and a rather march-like middle section - and everywhere, Kreisler takes the audience by surprise with a little Viennese snide humour. Kreisler's original compositions are lovely miniatures, lively and catchy, even with a touch of melancholy - yet full of charm and elegance. Arranged for string trio, they are enjoyable to play and worth listening to and a valuable addition to the repertoire - ideal for sociable music-making or as pieces to end a 'serious' concert./ Répertoire / Trio à Cordes

En dehors de la collection de ' Manuscrits classique ' composée par Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) et passer par lui comme les transcriptions des mouvements par les maîtres anciens, le violoniste publié très tôt les oeuvres originales. Kreisler lui-même aimait à jouer les morceaux encore, beaucoup d'adoucissement un concert avec ces morceaux de ' confiserie musicale '. Les plus célèbres miniatures sont sans aucun doute ' D'amour Joy ' et 'L'amour Sorrow', deux ' vieux viennois-airs de danse' dans laquelle Kreisler évoquée par l'atmosphère de la maison de café de sa ville natale avec merveilleuses mélodies et harmonies captivante. Les miniatures sont attachants, animé et accrocheur, mais avec un air élégiaque - mais pleine de charme et d'élégance. Ces pièces magnifique salon sont maintenant disponibles dans un arrangement pour alto et piano par Wolfgang Birtel. / Alto Et Piano
