I'm going to guess my favorite Kreisler, and then bow out.
Tambourin Chinois?

is it in a style of a dance?

25 ) Is it in the style of a dance?

Not being a dancer, I had to Google a bit to get an answer to that one.

I had not considered it a dance, but I do see from Google that more than one ballet company lists performances that are 'based on' this work. That's the best answer I can give, being in no way an authority on dance music.

hint: a minuet/menuet/menuetto is an 18th century dance...
but I'll assume you know that, and therefore I guess that the piece is Praeludium and Allegro in the style of Pugnani by Kreisler.

by **Shapley** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 2:18 pm

Correct, it is the Praeludium and Allegro. You get to do the next 30Q, and my post count will suffer.

For those not familar with the work, here is a link: Praeludium and Allegro in the Style of Pugnani by Fritz Kreisler performed by Joshua Bell, from The Kreisler Album.

BTW. Yes, I did know that a minuet is a dance, but I had forgotten that he had done one in the style of Pugnani.

Mr. *ig does it again!

I guess I have the most boring job, among those with continual computer access.

I never heard either piece, I just checked the Bell album online. I definitely should give that CD alisten, since I'm working on a virtuosic violin duet now, and am learning everything i can about idiomatic violin writing. I listened to the Paganini caprices 4 times in the last couple of weeks, and studied a score with fingerings.

I have the The Kreisler Album, by Joshua Bell, and it's very good. While looking for info to complete this 30Q, I saw this CD: Midori: Encore! which is now on my wish list.

I also have Kreisler: Souveniers on vinyl, Kreisler playing Kreisler. Very good!

I see that Gilles Apap, of The Transylvanian Mountain Boys fame, has a solo album with works by Kreisler as well. I started a thread a while back on Kreisler, but I think it died a quick death.
