FRITZ KREISLER PLAYS BEFORE HUGE AUDIENCE
April 1921

The largest audience ever assembled in Webster Hall heard Fritz Kreisler, the most noted and most popular of violinists, March 21. Kreisler displayed all of the artistry that has brought him to the pinnacle of his profession and won him the praise of multitudes, and the Department of Music received considerable praise for having made his appearance possible in Hanover. Extra seats were put into the auditorium and the apse and stage were crowded in addition. The violinist responded to many encores, one encore, "Songs My Mother Taught Me", proving especially popular to his hearers. His program was as follows :

Concerto No. 2 in D Minor Wieniawski Allegro Moderato Romance Alia Zingara Chaconne (for violin only) Bach La Chasse Cartier Variations Tartini Indian Lament Dvorak Chanson Indoue (Hindoo Chant) (From Sadka) Rimskey-Korsakoff Moment Musicale Schubert Spanish Serenade Chaminade-Kreisler Minuet Paderewski-Kreisler The Old Refrain Arr. by Kreisler (Viennese popular song)
