Recitativo and Scherzo-Caprice, Op. 6 — Fritz Kreisler

A celebrated piece for solo violin completed in 1911 by Vienna-born violinist Fritz Kreisler.

It begins with a tense motif and unfolds in an improvisatory manner in the first half, followed by a second half in which a jocular style emerges.

Its hallmarks include colorful harmonies, chromatic development, and trills—virtuosic writing that exploits the violin’s entire range.

Dedicated by Kreisler to his friend Eugène Ysaÿe, the work is a masterpiece that brings out the instrument’s full allure.

Though it demands advanced technique, it offers great joy in performance.
