Apart from the collection of ‚Classical Manuscripts‘ composed by Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) and passed off by him as transcriptions of movements by old masters, the violonist published original works very early. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, sweetening many a concert with such pieces of ‚musical confectionary‘. The most famous miniatures are undoubtedly ‚Love’s Joy‘ and ‚Love’s Sorrow‘, two ‚old Viennese dance-tunes‘ in which Kreisler evoked the coffee-house atmosphere of his home town with wonderful melodies and beguiling harmonies. The miniatures are endearing, lively and catchy, yet with an elegiac air – but full of charm and elegance. These magnificent salon pieces are now available in an arrangement for wind quintet by Joachim Linckelmann. Instrumentation: wind quintet
