'Alt Wiener Tanzweisen' [Old Viennesse dance tunes] are pretty miniatures, vibrant and catchy (the second one with a slightly elegiac colouring), but all have melodic charm and musical elegance. And what Kreisler once said about his A minor string quartet equally applies to these miniatures : 'It is my profession of allegiance to Vienna'. Fritz Kreisler himself liked to play them as encores and for many soloists they belonged and still do belong to the 'musical icing' which sweetens the end of a concert for the audience. Instrumentation : trumpet in Bb and piano

Love's Joy - Love's Sorrow - from the Old Viennese dance tunes. trumpet in Bb and piano.

The 'Old Viennese Dance Tunes', originally composed for violin and piano, are published in an arrangement for piano duet for the first time. It is thanks to the Viennese charm of this music that the pieces have become well-known all over the world. The three-four time typical of Vienna requires a certain, yet hardly noticeable liberty of tempo interpretation without metronomic constraints. Instrumentation : Piano (4 hands)

Schott Piano Classics

Fritz Kreisler's (1875-1962) collection Klassische Manuskripte written by the violin virtuoso around the turn of the century who pretended they were transcriptions of movements by old masters such as Couperin, Pugnani, Vivaldi or Dittersdorf, was extremely popular. This did not even change when, some decades later, Kreisler 'outed' himself as composer and not just arranger of these pieces. Other compositions, however, were at once published as original works by Fritz Kreisler who wrote them as encore pieces for his solo recitals. These encores were much appreciated by the audience such that Kreisler filled half his programme with them in later years. Among these character pieces teeming with melodic charm and musical elegance is Malaguena, a Southern Spanish dancing-tune from Malaga. Instrumentation : violin and piano

Edition Schott

The edition is part of the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grade 6) Instrumentation : cello and piano

Apart from the collection of 'Classical Manuscripts' composed by Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) and passed off by him as transcriptions of movements by old masters, the violonist published original works very early. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, sweetening many a concert with such pieces of 'musical confectionary'. The most famous miniatures are undoubtedly 'Love's Joy' and 'Love's Sorrow', two 'old Viennese dance-tunes' in which Kreisler evoked the coffee-house atmosphere of his home town with wonderful melodies and beguiling harmonies. The miniatures are endearing, lively and catchy, yet with an elegiac air - but full of charm and elegance. These magnificent salon pieces are now available in an arrangement for viola and piano by Wolfgang Birtel. Instrumentation : viola and piano

Liebesfreud - Liebesleid - from the Old Viennese dance tunes. viola and piano.

The Joy of Love and Song of Love from the cycle Old Viennese Dance Styles, originally composed for violin and piano, are published here in an arrangement for violoncello and piano. The Viennese charm of this music has ensured that the pieces are known around the world. The edition is part of the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grade 6). Instrumentation : cello and piano

Fritz Kreisler hat sich nicht nur als groÃŸer Geigenvirtuose einen Namen gemacht - er komponierte auch. Und unvergessen bleiben viele seiner als "Klassische Manuskripte" bezeichneten CharakterstÃ¼cke, seine Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen "Liebesleid - Liebesfreud - SchÃ¶n Rosmarin" etwa, sein "Tambourin Chinois" oder seine "Caprice Viennois". Die ein oder andere Komposition, angeblich von alten Meistern geschrieben, entpuppte sich im Nachhinein als ein Werk aus Kreislers eigener Feder. Dazu zÃ¤hlt auch das "Praeludium und Allegro im Stile von Gaetano Pugnani" - ein effektvolles VortragsstÃ¼ck, das nun auch in einem Arrangement fÃ¼r Viola und Klavier vorliegt.Schwierigkeitsgrad: 4
