The six pieces played by Kreisler on Disc 1 were recorded in New York and London in 1910–12. Four of them were published in 1910 as Classical Manuscripts. The matching pair Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy) and Liebesleid (Love’s Sorrow) were first ascribed to Lanner, but a Berlin critic smelt a rat; so on publication they and Schön Rosmarin were described as Old Viennese Dance Tunes. The Andantino appeared under Padre Martini’s name. Tambourin chinois was acknowledged from the start as an original inspiration.
Kreisler said, “I enjoyed very much writing my Tambourin chinois. The idea for it came to me after a visit to the Chinese theatre in San Francisco — not that the music there suggested any theme, but it gave me the impulse to write a free fantasy in the Chinese manner.”
Tchaikovsky’s Chant sans paroles, third of the piano pieces making up Souvenir de Hapsal, was arranged by Kreisler and recorded by him as one of his very first discs, in 1904. It was remade in 1910 at one of his earliest American sessions (the version here) and again in London the following year.
The tributes by other famous violinists have value in themselves, but also include pieces that Kreisler did not record. Ruggiero Ricci interestingly takes a virtuoso view.
The Praeludium and Allegro, originally ascribed to Pugnani, is perhaps Kreisler’s finest piece. The next two, beautifully written for the violin, were naughtily attributed to Francœur and Louis Couperin, while Ricci’s final piece, La Chasse with its hunting horn imitations, was said to be by Cartier. La Précieuse, played by Shlomo Mintz, was another Louis Couperin concoction.
The Recitative and Scherzo-Caprice was Kreisler’s major contribution to the literature for solo violin — sadly, he never recorded it; indeed he recorded only two unaccompanied pieces. The Tartini-Corelli Variations are unusual among Kreisler’s Baroque creations in actually including two of Tartini’s own variations on the Gavotte from Corelli’s Sonata op. 5 no. 10 — the other variations are pure Kreisler.
The Rondino, a virtuoso elaboration of the opening theme of Beethoven’s G major Rondo for violin and piano (WoO 41), was dedicated to Mischa Elman to punish him for clowning around with the piece just after it had been composed. Among Kreisler originals, Polichinelle was described as a Serenade and La Gitana was subtitled “Arabian-Spanish gypsy song of the eighteenth century”. Gypsy Caprice demands considerable virtuosity from the player.
Syncopation and Marche miniature viennoise show that, although phrasing was the dominant aspect of Kreisler’s own playing, as a composer he had a highly developed feeling for rhythm. Many pieces here are transcriptions. The Old Refrain is based on Du alter Stefansturm from Johann Brandl’s 1887 operetta Der liebe Augustin; Rimsky-Korsakov contributes two operatic arias; the Gluck is from the ballet music in Orphée et Euridice; and the Danza española is an orchestral episode in Falla’s opera La vida breve.
Of the two Spanish serenades, Cécile Chaminade’s — which exploits the violin’s high register — was originally for piano, Glazunov’s for cello and orchestra. The Albéniz and Granados are among their best-known piano pieces and Mendelssohn’s Frühlingslied is one of his Songs Without Words for piano.
The Weber Larghetto is borrowed from an 1810 sonata for piano with violin obbligato and the Wieniawski Caprice, Alla saltarella, is the fifth Étude from L’École moderne. Kreisler could be quite radical in transcribing Dvořák’s music, but the Humoresque and the E minor Slavonic Dance stay close to the piano originals.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
