Works by Fritz Kreisler

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Alice Tully Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center centers a program on works by Fritz Kreisler, the Viennese violinist-composer who helped shape early 20th-century salon and concert life. His short pieces trade in old-world dance rhythms, lyric miniatures, and deliberate stylistic disguise, including music long presented as “rediscovered” classics. In New York, Kreisler’s idiom has endured less as a repertory cornerstone than as a lens on taste, nostalgia, and virtuoso culture. One clear takeaway is how carefully crafted his simplicity really is.
