By special request, I upload this sweet, typical 1910's salon piece by Felix Winternitz, in a rendition by Kreisler. Although a great virtuoso and pedagogue in his day, very little is known today about Winternitz. He was a violin teacher at the New England Conservatory in Boston, had achieved great success through his world tours during the late 19th century. Austrian-born Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962), however, was and is one of the best-known violin players and composers in history. He studied at the Vienna Conservatory and in Paris, where his teachers included Anton Bruckner, Léo Delibes, Jakob Dont, Joseph Hellmesberger, Jr., Joseph Massart, and Jules Massenet. He made his United States debut at Steinway Hall in New York City on November 10, 1888, and his first tour of the United States in 1888/1889 with Moritz Rosenthal, then returned to Austria and applied for a position in the Vienna Philharmonic. He was turned down by the concertmaster Arnold Rosé. As a result, he left music to study medicine. He spent a brief time in the army before returning to the violin in 1899, giving a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Arthur Nikisch. It was this concert and a series of American tours from 1901 to 1903 that brought him real acclaim. He briefly served in the Austrian Army in World War I before being honorably discharged after he was wounded. He spent the remaining years of the war in America. He returned to Europe in 1924, living first in Berlin, then moving to France in 1938. Shortly thereafter, at the outbreak of World War II, he settled once again in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1943. He lived in that country for the rest of his life. He gave his last public concert in 1947 and broadcast performances for a few years after that. Kreisler wrote a number of pieces for the violin, including solos for encores, such as "Liebesleid" and "Liebesfreud". He also wrote operettas including Apple Blossoms in 1919 and Sissy in 1932, a string quartet and cadenzas, including ones for the Brahms D major violin concerto, the Paganini D major violin concerto, and the Beethoven D major violin concerto. His cadenza for the Beethoven concerto is the one most often employed by violinists today. Josef Pasternack, conducting the accompanying orchestra on this recording, was born in Częstochowa, Poland in 1880. He began the study of the violin at age four, under his father's tutelage. At age ten he entered the Warsaw Conservatory of Music, where he initially studied piano and composition. He also took up the study of a new instrument each month, so that by the time he left the Conservatory he could play every instrument in the orchestra except the harp. At age 15 he came to the United States with his two brothers and father. Initially he worked in a hotel restaurant as a busboy. One day when the violin player for the hotel band did not come to work he informed the bandleader that he was capable of filling in. He ran home and got his vioin and returned to play. The regular violinst was not allowed to return. Shortly thereafter he was able to convince the band leader to permit his brothers to try out and so began their musical careers in America. Shortly thereafte he toured the country as a concert pianist. In 1902 he was hired as violinist with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York and then became first viola player, continuing until 1909. His ability came to the attention of the famed Arturo Toscanini, who had become Conductor at the Metropolitan in 1908, and Pasternack was made Assistant Conductor in 1909, a position he filled for one year. In 1911 he returned to Europe as Conductor of the Bremen Opera, but the Metropolitan asked for his release and he returned to the Met as a Conductor for 1911-13. During the period 1913-26, he was Conductor of the Century Opera Company in New York, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Philharmonic Society. While at the Philadelphia Philharmonic he introduced Marian Anderson as the first African-American singer to perform there. Starting in 1916 he also was Musical Director of the Victor Talking Machine Company. In his role at Victor and with several orchestras he made recordings and conducted programs for many famous singers of the day, most notably Enrico Caruso, and directed many of the famous musicians of the day. From 1928 until his death in 1940 he conducted orchestras for NBC in the days of live radio. He composed songs and music for motion pictures and radio, and wrote the lyrics for Taps. As for this great Kreisler recording, a one-sided Victor disc, it was waxed on July 16th, 1917.
