Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) Lilly Al Riachy, violin Mark Riachy, piano Originally written for harpsichord by Rameau, the Tambourin draws on the rhythmic character of Provençal folk dances accompanied by a drum known as the tambourin. Violinist Fritz Kreisler later arranged the work for violin and piano, preserving its rhythmic vitality while adapting it to the Romantic concert repertoire. The piece is built around repeated rhythmic figures and clear contrasts, combining Baroque dance style with Kreisler’s expressive writing.
