Apar
t 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 wind
quintet by Joachim
Linckelmann.
