Six Pieces by Fritz Kreisler Transcribed for Alto Saxophone and Piano-Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time. His brilliant technique and rich tone produced a characteristic sound that was and remains immediately identifiable. This collection features six pieces that Kreisler composed or transcribed for violin and piano here transcribed for alto saxophone and piano. Especially well known are the original pieces Liebesleid and Schon Rosmarin both of which Kreisler attributed to the now-forgotten composer Joseph Lanner. Caprice Viennois and Rondino on a Theme of Beethoven are likewise original pieces from early in Kreisler’s career which he would regularly feature as concert encores. The Old Refrainand Midnight Bells are transcriptions the former of a Viennese popular song and the latter of an excerpt from the operetta Der Opernball by Richard Heuberger. In these six transcriptions the instrument changes yet the value remains. Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) was celebrated as one of the greatest violinists of all time.

Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) and George Gershwin (1898-1937) two of the best known figures in American music were good friends and often played together. Heifetz had urged Gershwin to write a violin concerto for him but unfortunately Gershwin died before the project got off the ground. These transcriptions by Heifetz are the next best thing. The five excerpts from Porgy and Bess?« and the Three Preludes are well known and Heifetz often played them as encores but the substantial concert excerpt from An American in ParisTM has never been published before and may not have been performed by Heifetz in public at all. The infectious rhythms and gorgeous tunes of thisAmerican classic are brilliantly served by Heifetz as transcriber and the Porgy excerpts (which include Bess You Is My Woman Now Summertime and My Man's Gone Now) sizzle with virtuoso pizzazz in these wonderful arrangements. This edition is a must-have for lovers of the violin and the music of Gershwin! Heifetz plays Gershwin
