Romance and Two Dances...German

By no means the least effective pieces which Kreisler has added to the violinist's repertoire, earning the sincere thanks of all his colleagues. eminent and humble, are two old Viennese tunes... one called 'Love's Grief' and the other 'Love's Joy.' As befits the city where, more than anywhere else in Europe, dancing is a tradition, and indeed more than that, part of the very air the citizens breathe, it is appropriate that they should both be in dance measures, with ft very taking and catching melody in their melodic line. Kreisler has not only preserved that admirably but has fitted both tunes with delightfully effective accompaniments.

To hear him play them himself is, of course, ideal, but they do not depend wholly on the wonderful verve and rhythm with which he can infuse all his music; in the hands of any good artist they are certain of their piquant effect.
