I have the solo violin sheet music for this. Message me with your email address and I can forward it to you.

Oscar Shumsky playing a piece by Kreisler, done in the style of Vivaldi, how he was known at the time, before a lot of Vivaldi's pieces were discovered. This is the first movement, Allegro energico ma non troppo.

  • This is fascinating.

    The story is that Kreisler couldn't get audiences interested in music he wrote himself so he started claiming things were actually by older, forgotten and obscure composers and audiences ate them up. Forgeries basically.

    Eventually the state of musical scholarship caught up with him and he admitted he was the composer.

  • @robcat2075 He did what he had to do, I guess. He's still an amazing composer, either way. Same with the Casadesus family. It's weird admitting that I like the K271a "Mozart" violin concerto the best, when it wasn't written by Mozart at all. But, it's a great concerto in the style of Mozart.

  • Hello, isn't this supposed to be Allegro moderato e maestoso?

  • @silasha Not according to the CD and the score that I have for it. Both list it as Allegro energico ma non troppo.

  • I finally have the solo violin sheet music for this scanned in again, so I can send it to anyone who wants it.  Just message me with your email address and I'll forward it to you.

  • Nice, but not in Vivaldi style.

    Perhaps a mix between a vague baroque (some similar-Bach incisi) and romantic style.

  • I agree that it doesn't sound like Vivaldi at all. According to the booklet that came with this CD, it said that this piece was based on Vivaldi's style as it was known at the time. Apparently, not too many pieces of Vivaldi's had been discovered at the time Kreisler wrote this, which I find hard to believe.

    But at least it's still fun to play. :)

  • Beautiful!

  • Well, it sounds more in the style of Bach with some romantic additions.

  • I have to play this piece for my violin exam on the 15 june.. It's not a really hard piece but I'm afraid to lose my exam :(
