Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) is considered one of the greatest violinists of all time, renowned for his impeccable control of vibrato, expressive phrasing and lyrical tone. His characteristic playing is immediately recognizable, but so too is his compositional style. Violinists are already aware of Kreisler’s rich, romantic, and crowd-pleasing repertoire for the violin, but he was a prolific composer and transcriber for piano as well.To the modern listener, Kreisler evokes the elegance, romance, and old world charm of the Viennese ballroom, with sweeping cantabile melodies and bubbly arpeggiated passages that delight audiences and players alike.This Book Contains:Caprice Viennois (Viennese Caprice)Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy) transcribed by Sergei RachmaninoffLiebesleid (Love’s Sorrow)Midnight Bells (Viennese Melody from The Opera Ball by Richard Heuberger)Miniature Viennese MarchParadise (Viennese Folk Song by Alexander Krakauer)Petite ValseSchön Rosmarin (Fair Rosmarin).
