Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen
''Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen'' (''Old Viennese Dances'' in German) is a set of three short pieces for violin and piano composed by Austrian-American violinist Fritz Kreisler. The three pieces are titled ''Liebesfreud'' (''Love's Joy''), ''Liebesleid'' (''Love's Sorrow''), and ''Schön Rosmarin'' (''Lovely Rosemary''). It is not known when the pieces are written, but they were published in 1905, deliberately misattributed to Joseph Lanner. The pieces had become parts of Kreisler's repertoire well before September 1910, when he copyrighted them under his own name. Kreisler often played these pieces as encores at his concerts, though the pieces are usually performed separately. In 1911, he published solo piano arrangements of the pieces as ''Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen''.B. Schott's Söhne: Mainz, 1911 The pieces have since appeared in numerous settings for other instruments, or orchestrated. Two of the pieces, ''Liebesfreud'' and ''Liebesleid'', were the subject of virtuoso transcript ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fritz Kreisler
Friedrich "Fritz" Kreisler (February 2, 1875 – January 29, 1962) was an Austrian-born American violinist and composer. One of the most noted violin masters of his day, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing, with marked portamento and rubato. Like many great violinists of his generation, he produced a characteristic sound which was immediately recognizable as his own. Although it derived in many respects from the Franco-Belgian school, his style is nonetheless reminiscent of the '' gemütlich'' (cozy) lifestyle of pre-war Vienna. Biography Kreisler was born in Vienna, the son of Anna (née Reches) and Samuel Kreisler, a doctor. Of Jewish descent, he was however baptised at the age of 12. At age seven, Kreisler entered the Vienna Conservatory where he studied under Anton Bruckner, Jakob Dont and Joseph Hellmesberger Jr., and studied composition and violin at the Paris Conservatory between 1885 and 1887, where his teachers included Léo Delibes, Lambert ...

Joseph Lanner
Joseph Lanner (12 April 1801 – 14 April 1843) was an Austrian dance music composer and dance orchestra conductor. He is best remembered as one of the earliest Viennese composers to reform the waltz from a simple peasant dance to something that even the highest society could enjoy, either as an accompaniment to the dance, or for the music's own sake. He was just as famous as his friend and musical rival Johann Strauss I, who was better known outside of Austria in their day because of his concert tours abroad, in particular, to France and England. Lanner had a lesser-known son, August Lanner, who was just as musically gifted and prodigious as his father, but whose budding career was cut short by his early death at age 20. His daughter Katharina became a well known international ballet dancer, settling in London where she became an influential choreographer and teacher. Biography Lanner was born in St. Ulrich in Vienna (today the district of Neubau). Largely self-taught on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
