Kreisler - Liebesfreud and Liebesleid for cello and piano

Love's joy and Love's sorrow by Fritz Kreisler for cello and piano

Edited by Willi Draths

Liebesfreud and Liebesleid from the cycle "Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen" ("Old Viennese dance tunes"), originally composed for violin and piano, are now published in an arrangement for violoncello and piano. The Viennese charm of this music has made the pieces known all over the world. The three-four time, typical of Vienna, demands a certain, hardly to be notated freedom of interpretation as regards tempo without metronomic constraint.
