Selections from Three Old Viennese Dances. FritzKreisler, arr. Rachmaninoff
It is not known when Kreisler wrote Three Old Viennese Dances, but they were published in 1905, deliberately misattributed to Joseph Lanner. They had become parts of Kreisler's repertoire well before September 1910, when he copyrighted them under his own name. Kreisler often played these pieces as encores at his concerts. In 1911, he published his own piano solo arrangements of them as Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen (Old Viennese Dances). Two of them, Liebesfreud and Liebesleid, were the subject of virtuoso transcriptions for solo piano by Kreisler's friend Sergei Rachmaninoff, who also recorded these transcriptions.
