Eimi Wakui｜Kreisler: Schön Rosmarin

This piece for violin and piano was composed by Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962). It is a popular piece played not only by violin, but also by flute, cello and clarinet. The title Rosmarin (German) is rosemary in English. It is the name of a plant that is also used as an herb, but it is also often used as a female name. As a title motif, Rosmarin seems to be used as a symbol of a beautiful or lovely woman rather than as the name of a flower. This piece is also composed in the form of a wiener waltz and features a lovely, light melody in G major. The piece is beautifully written with Kreisler’s typical flamboyance and narrative melody, making it a piece you will want to listen to again and again. #classicalmusic #violin #Kreisler #violinist
