Schön Rosmarin (from '3 Old Viennese Dances') (for Violin and Piano) - Fritz Kreisler

Fritz Kreisler’s sparkling “Schön Rosmarin” from 3 Old Viennese Dances is presented here in a charming duo arrangement for solo instrument and piano, faithfully preserving the original structure and graceful Viennese character. The solo instrument performs the main melody with playful elegance and refined rubato, capturing the light yet sophisticated spirit of Kreisler’s salon style. The piano accompaniment carries the remaining musical elements, supporting the melody with buoyant rhythm and warm harmonic color. This arrangement is ideal for recital encores and programs seeking Romantic brilliance with a touch of Old Vienna charm. The required positions extend up to 1st position for violin, 5th position for viola, and thumb position for cello, offering expressive projection and upper-register sparkle.
