Product Description
Four Weeks in the Trenches recounts the experiences of one of the greatest violinists of all time when he fought in World War I as an Austrian soldier. Fritz Kreisler briefly served in the Austrian Army in World War I before being honorably discharged after he was wounded. He spent the remaining years of the war in America. He returned to Europe in 1924, living first in Berlin, then moving to France in 1938. Shortly thereafter, at the outbreak of World War II, he settled once again in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1943. In civilian life, Fritz Kreisler was a violin virtuoso and orchestral composer. One of the most famous violin masters of his day, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing. His extraordinary talent manifested itself when he was only 4, and it was carefully fostered by his father. Fritz Kreisler's brilliant technique was ably matched by his remarkable tone, both of which he always placed in the service of the composer. Four Weeks in the Trenches is an interesting read, providing fascinating insights in what it was like to be a soldier during World War I. ... Read more

Product Description
Violinist and composer Fritz Kreisler has been described as "the last, best ambassador of 19th-century Vienna to a 20th-century world." A prodigy with no formal instruction on the violin after the age of 12, he brought to the musical stage a warmth that made him a uniquely beloved celebrity.Amazon.com Review
In this post-Heifetz age, in which virtuoso violin playing isidentified with perfection of execution, it is difficult to comprehendthat within living memory the reigning king of violinists was a manwho detested practice, loved to drink and gamble, was benignly casualabout the truth when it suited him--sometimes passing off his ownmusic as the obscure work of little-known 18th- and 19th-centurycomposers, or embellishing anecdotes--and felt that too-preciseexecution of a musical work robbed it of its soul. Indeed, this wouldseem to be the profile of some legendary jazz player, not a giant ofthe classical repertory. Yet Fritz Kreisler--a onetime piano prodigywhose first career sputtered out after he lost the novelty ofyouth--as an adult dominated the practice of the violin during theyears between the two world wars. His expressive and emotional styleof playing enabled him to make contact with audiences in a way thatearlier masters of the 19th century could not. Sadly, as related hereby Amy Biancolli, the public remembers Kreisler today more for hispleasing violin compositions than his influence on performancetechnique, even if some of the greater violinists know better.

This well-written, positive biography is intended to remedy thatneglect. It puts Kreisler's place in history and his importance interms of performance practice into greater perspective. Though she isnot entirely able to put the reader emotionally in touch with thevanished milieu of imperial Vienna, Biancolli does provide awell-rounded, late-20th-century perspective on the career of the greatviolinist, and includes an excellent discography to help the readerbecome better acquainted with the performances of this likablefigure. --Sarah Bryan Miller ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Fritz Kreisler: Love's Sorrow, Love's Joy
A very fine biography of the life and the times of Fritz Kreisler, a violinist and a composer, perhaps the last composer violinist in our times.And not only
does this book go into the artistic life of Kreisler, but also the times in which he lived.It was end of the era of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, a strange conglomeration of political and military patchwork, and a place that has been romanticized way beyond the facts showing its deep faults.But Kreisler was an
outstanding violinist, although he did not command the technique that was established by Heifetz, and is now part of the standards for aspiring violinists.
Once those standards are seen as possible, then all young fiddlers realize they must make use of them.But Kreisler was a composer, with splendid little compositions, albeit he was a very modest man.He served as an officer in the Austrian army during WWI and there were many who held that against him when he resumed his musical career.And then there is his relationship with the Nazi government, a regime that he did not respect or support in any way.
This book is very well written and is certainly a very good read.Hurray!!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading
It's a very comprehensive book which makes you feel that you can almost take Kreisler'spulse through the important parts of his life.

It really characterizes kreisler well and thoroughly and mentions in adequate detail about his wife and others.

What bothered me was that many points were repeated too many times.It seemed like the same commentary was made about merely different sets of quotations.

Overall and absolutely excellent and must read book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Really nice pieces for violin players
This book gathers many really nice pieces of various styles and times(tango,"slavonic dances",pieces "in the style of" Mozart, Beethoven, Pugnani, etc.), which is really pleasant when you like switching from a time and style to another.
These are relatively short pieces, but from time to time they can be quite technical... I would recommend them only for players having already spent a few years learning to play the violin(I would say at least 6-7-8 years, but of course this is a highly subjective estimate!).
Most of them are nice to be played even without the accompaniment (the scores for a piano part are provided but not the piano player...).

A really nice book, I've spent pleasant times playing the violin thanks to it... and I'm looking forward to having Vol.2!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Intermediate to Advanced Collection
This collection was first introduced to me through my violin teacher, the late Adreinne Krasner (wife of Louis Krasner who debued the Berg Violin Concerto).Since that time I have returned again, and again to it with myown students. My favorite is the Preludium and Allegro but the Sicilienneand Rigadoun are very popular as well. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Fritz Kreisler," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Fritz Kreisler in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Fritz Kreisler when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Fritz Kreisler, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
In an era of great violinists, Kreisler had technique, intellect, tone, and charm. He transcended the domain of serious music, performing and recording both popular music and the great masterpieces. Greatly influenced by the work of Bruckner and Delibes, Fritz Kreisler has a marvelous gift for harmony and counterpoint. In this particular volume of pastiche pieces, Kreisler demonstrates his musical genius and successfully provides the violin repertoire with idiomatic and satisfying music. Among the pieces included in this collection are those in the style of Vivaldi, Stamitz, Porpora, and Couperin, along with pieces such as Toy Soldiers March, Malaguena, Episode and Romance. ...
