Summary of This Book
Fritz Kreisler, a major figure of the violin in the 20th century, not only made his mark through his playing but also enriched the repertoire with his transcriptions and unique sense of melodic line. This collection brings together a particularly attractive selection of arrangements (Chopin, Weber, Glazounov, Mendelssohn, Schubert) and several original pages by Kreisler, designed to highlight singing tone, bow flexibility, and stylistic elegance.
Designed for both practice and performance, the book offers pieces that "sound" immediately: ideal for developing musicianship, refining position shifts, perfecting vibrato, and working on dynamics within a rich yet clear piano framework. The accompaniment is by Joseph Seiger, the renowned accompanist of Mischa Elman, providing a solid and inspiring musical setting to prepare auditions, competitions, or concerts.
You will find, among others: Mazurka in A minor (Chopin/Kreisler), Spanish Serenade (Glazounov/Kreisler), Allegretto, La Precieuse (in the style of Couperin), Polichinelle Serenade, Shepherd's Madrigal, Tambourin, Song Without Words (Mendelssohn/Kreisler), ballet music from Rosamunde (Schubert/Kreisler), and Larghetto (Weber/Kreisler). The complete solo part is printed, and the online audio allows working on balance, timing, and phrasing, with the possibility to practice with accompaniment alone.
