		Kreisler enjoyed an enormous, and deserved, popularity, which was reinforced by his own numerous short tuneful compositions for the instrument of which he was such a master.
		Another of Kreisler's original pieces for violin and piano, one of a pair (the other being Liebesfreud), is Leibesleid, which sums up the soul of old Vienna - not as a large concert-waltz in the manner of the Strauss dynasty, but as an intimate, gentle reminiscence.
		In any event, Kreisler's delightfully languorous piece, with its evocative and dreamy ending, is a magnificent composition of its type, a perfect gem of the composer's craft.

	Fritz Kreisler Collection - Performing Arts Encyclopedia (Library of Congress)
		Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) is known predominantly for his artistry as a violinist, particularly in performances of his own transcriptions and cadenzas, but he is also worthy of note as a composer.
		Although he had a small tone, his phrasing, technique and bowing were all nearly flawless, and most violinists in the 20th century acknowledge indebtedness to Kreisler whether it be for his bowing style, his fingering, or his early use of vibrato.
		Additional gifts from Fritz Kreisler to the Library of Congress include the holograph scores for the Violin Concerto in D by Johannes Brahms, Ernest Chausson’s Poème, and a 1733 Guarneri del Gesù violin.

	Interview with Fritz Kreisler - ViolinMP3.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kreisler in the one instance had given me the printed original which suggested it—frankly a "popular" song, clumsily harmonized in a "four-square" manner (though written in 3/4 time) with nothing to indicate its latent possibilities.
		It is this personal, this individual, note in all that Fritz Kreisler does—when he plays, when he composes, when he transcribes—that gives his art-effort so great and unique a quality of appeal.
		Kreisler gives no lessons and hence referred this question in the most amiable manner to his boyhood friend and fellow-student Felix Winternitz, the well-known Boston violin teacher, one of the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music, who had come in while we were talking.

		Fritz Kreisler, incomparable violinist and prolific composer, was the supreme interpreter of his own pieces; his recordings of them have cast a spell on generations of performers.
		Joshua Bell succumbed to it as a boy, but avoids the pitfall of trying to imitate Kreisler's style, putting his own stamp on both the original pieces and the so-called baroque arrangements, which Kreisler eventually admitted having written himself.
		The piano parts, with their sophisticated harmonies and skillful counterpoint, prove that Kreisler was a good composer as well as a fine pianist; Paul Coker plays them with just the right combination of rhythmic steadiness and idiomatic freedom.

		While I bought this recording because I have loved Kreisler music for years, and I agree with the previous accolades, I was taken with the way Bell and his pianist complimented each other in their performance.
		Bell with this CD further establishes his position as a superb musician and one of the greatest of contemporary violinists, who is equally at home with the most demanding of large-scale concertos as with the most delicate chamber works.
		Perhaps because Fritz Kreisler was such a great musician himself, many have underestimated the difficulty of playing his music well.
