Tambourin Chinois, Op. 3, known in English as Chinese Tambourine or Chinese Drum, is a piece by composer Fritz Kreisler for Violin and Piano. It is one of his most well-known pieces behind his Old Viennese Melodies and Praeludium and Allegro.[1]
Composition
[edit | edit source]The piece is inspired from a performance of traditional Chinese music heard by the composer while they visited San Francisco.[2] As such, the piece is highly inspired by the pentatonic scale, though Kreisler said that he did not take any thematic information from his visit.[3]
