[Kreisler's Piano Piece] A Masterpiece by the Composer Known for the 'Love' Trilogy

Fritz Kreisler, born in 1875 as the son of a practicing physician in Vienna, attracted attention from an early age as a violin prodigy.

Tossed about by the two world wars that transformed the era, and even after suffering severe injuries in a traffic accident, he remained energetically active—appearing on broadcasts and giving recitals as long as his body allowed.

As a composer, he also brought forth romantic masterpieces such as “Liebesfreud” (Joy of Love), “Liebesleid” (Sorrow of Love), and “Schön Rosmarin” (Beautiful Rosemary).

In this article, we introduce works by Kreisler that are well known as piano pieces or in piano arrangements.
