One of the most famous violin masters of his or any other day, and regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing. Like many great violinists of his generation, he produced a characteristic sound which was immediately recognizable as his own. Although it derived in many respects from the Franco-Belgian school, his style is nonetheless reminiscent of the gemütlich (cozy) lifestyle of pre-war Vienna.

Tween Suite (homage to Fritz Kreisler), for violin and piano I. Buenos Aires to Budapest II. Broadway to Rome III. Waltzing the World Aika Birch, violin Tween Suite was written for my daughter Aika, age 10. I have been writing pieces for her since she was 6. This is by far our most ambitious project. Aika was fundamental in suggesting what she would like to play and helping with bowings and articulations. The first movement is a tango that mutates into a fast Hungarian dance. The second movement combines a Broadway-style ballad with an Italian cantilena. The last movement is a collection of waltzes in various styles: Spanish, French, and Austrian. It is a melting pot!
