THE FOLLOWING REFERS TO A ''KREISLER SHEET MUSIC CD'' USUALLY
AVAILABLE ON EBAY FOR $7.90:
A partial list of editions of music--most for violin &
piano--composed, arranged, transcribed or edited by Fritz Kreisler
(1875 - 1962) that were published before 1923 in the United States and
which are therefore in the public domain in the United States, based
upon a search of copyright records in the U. S. Copyright Office of the
Library of Congress.
More than 90 pieces, each identified below by a single asterisk
(in a few cases, there are two different titles for the same piece,
both being asterisked) are available on a CD compiled by, and available
from, John D. Howard. Besides music for violin and piano, the CD
includes also 8 transcriptions for CELLO and piano; a number of
songs for high voice, (violin) and piano; the 4 string
parts for Kreisler's STRING QUARTET, the score to APPLE BLOSSOMS, and
two books.
The listing is by TITLE, and are for violin and piano unless shown
otherwise.

NOTES:
C Fi = Carl Fischer, Inc; Foley = Charles Foley, which is
an imprint of Carl Fischer, Inc.; if no publisher is shown, it is
Carl Fischer or Foley.
Items with no asterisk are of publication date uncertain to the author
of this list.
*These are on the Kreisler Public Domain CD created by John D. Howard.
**The Library of Congress' 1922 C Fi edition (dated on the actual copy
"7/14/22") of 'Farewell to Cucullain' includes a Kreisler work/price
list. Those pieces on this list that are not on the 'KREISLER CD' are
double-asterisked above, and should exist in public domain editions.
The "Tempo di Minuetto" is presented on the 'KREISLER CD' in both
Schott and Foley editions for purposes of comparison, showing more
editing-presumably by Kreisler!--in the Foley (hence a later edition
than the Schott?), but also a major error in the location of a repeat
sign (corrected on CD image.)
Dates like '15Sep10' are the copyright or copyright renewal date
in the shorthand used by the U.S. Copyright Office of the Library of
Congress [ http://www.copyright.gov ]. Example:
'15Sep10' = '15 September 1910'. Call letters for those
editions found at the Performing Arts Reading Room in the Madison
Building in Washington D.C. of the Library of Congress are also listed
above.
Kreisler wrote many other works--songs, etc--both now in the public
domain (published before 1923) and not in the public domain (such as,
possibly, his candenzas to the Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky
& Viotti (#22) concerti). Carl Fischer, Inc. in virtually
every case has correctly renewed its copyrights for editions published
after 1922. This continues the copyright for quite some
(ridiculous) time into the future.
