Kreisler, Fritz - Loves Joy - Loves Sorrow

Loves Joy - Loves Sorrow - from the Old Viennese dance tunes

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 Loves Joy and Loves 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 piano trio by Wolfgang Birtel.
