This anthology contains the best-known original compositions, classical manuscripts and transcriptions from the concert repertoire of the famous violinist Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962).

The edition is part of the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grades 6,7,8).

In 1936 Fritz Kreisler revealed to the world that many of the miniatures that he performed were composed by him and not works ascribed to earlier composers such as Gaetano Pugnani. ?The Praeludium and Allegro had been published in 1905, thirty-one years before this confession. ?By that time it had found its way in the hearts of violinists and audiences alike. ?The dramatic Praeludium gives way to the lively Allegro. ?No one will ever know if Gaetano Pugnani (1731?98) would have enjoyed Kreisler's fun piece, but violinists certainly do!

The PDF file contains the score and all string parts.
