Fritz Kreisler - Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen transcribed for Violin and Guitar Martha Hill Duncan

Fritz Kreisler - Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen transcribed for Violin and Guitar Martha Hill Duncan"The three short pieces that form the Alt Wiener Tanzweisen are among Fritz Kreislers most popular and famous works. The beauty and simplicity of the melodies together with the refined and sensitive piano accompaniment has made these pieces synonymous with the early 20th century salon music tradition and are arguably among the most popular 20th century violin works. In these arrangements I have tried to stay close to Kreislers original piano part,

the way a guitarist-composer of that period might have written the arrangement

building  to a very lively ending

often spelled out through specific indications

I certainly enjoyed writing them for you

They cover history

The repertoire is pedagogically sound and has been developed by a teacher with over 25 years of experience

It has an emotional intensity comparable to that of J

and that you’ll take these pieces — maybe try your hand at improvising

again reiterating note learning
