Composed in 1910, Fritz Kreisler’s 3 Old Viennese Dances (Liebesfreud, Liebesleid, and Schön Rosmarin) remain some of the most famous violin encores in history.

Now, you don't even need a piano to play them. We’ve arranged a 2nd violin part so you can perform all three as a Violin Duo!

The brilliant Pauline Reguig recently recorded all three tracks for her #HifiMonkey project, you can watch them below.

The first violin part is available to download for free here, and you can find the 3 violin accompaniments in our Sheet Music Store, as well as in our Kreisler Collection.

Here's a little bit more about Pauline and the #HifiMonkey project from her own mouth:

The #HifiMonkey project came up in spring 2019, which is me, Pauline Reguig, the violinist and my husband Christoph Piasetzki as producer. I’ve always played a lot of chamber music, which is pretty much important to me – but my job as concert master in Berlin and teaching at the University of Leipzig keeps me from following this passion, due to lack of time. So I got an idea, how I could play chamber music nevertheless: by playing violin duos, where I cover both parts – it’s kind of crazy but thanks to Christoph everything is possible! One could argue that it’s no real chamber music playing as one person, but performing with oneself requires a lot of focus, the ability to listen and to adapt – one could say it is even harder!  ;) I started with works I already know from my studies and concerts, continuing with recommendations from colleagues, friends. Especially the encounter of Duo Klier, publisher of violin duo arrangements has proven really precious, for I have the opportunity to play solo pieces well-arranged for two violins. Violin literature is very much versatile, so there are hardly any limits. Most important to me is to show you pieces I really love, produced in an intimate way at home and putting the music itself into the focus. The name of the project is #HifiMonkey, and why’s that? You should probably ask my husband, but there’s always a clue in the videos – firstly quite obvious, but in the later videos a bit more hidden. And how is it working? I can only say that I’ve found the right partner who can be a real sorcerer!
