Violin Repertoire Vol. 1

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.

'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)

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
