Six Pieces by Fritz Kreisler Transcribed for Alto Saxophone and Piano. Par KREISLER FRITZ. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time. His brilliant technique and rich tone produced a characteristic sound that was and remains immediately identifiable. This collection features six pieces that Kreisler composed or transcribed for violin and piano, here transcribed for alto saxophone and piano. Especially well known are the original pieces Liebesleid and Schon Rosmarin, both of which Kreisler attributed to the now-forgotten composer Joseph Lanner. Caprice Viennois and Rondino on a Theme of Beethoven are likewise original pieces from early in Kreisler's career, which he would regularly feature as concert encores. The Old Refrainand Midnight Bells are transcriptions, the former of a Viennese popular song and the latter of an excerpt from the operetta Der Opernball by Richard Heuberger. In these six transcriptions, the instrument changes, yet the value remains. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time.

Champagne Galop. Par CHRISTIAN LUMBYE HANS. Hans Christian Lumbye (1810-1874) est le talentueux fils d’un militaire danois. En 1839, il assiste au concert d’un orchestre viennois qui interprète des oeuvres de Johann Strauss et Joseph Lanner. Le jeune homme, fasciné par ce qu’il entend, décide de perpétuer le style et la tradition des maîtres viennois. Quelques mois plus tard, on le surnommera même „le Strauss nordique“. Champagner- Galopp est sans aucun doute l’oeuvre la plus interprétée de ce compositeur danois. / Niveau : 2.5 / Classique / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
