Kreisler describes the four weeks he spent with the Austrian Army during the First World War. An excellent account of life on often neglected Eastern Front. A short book and it's available online. ( ) This memoir of Kreisler’s brief service in the Austrian army during WWI gives the reader a realistic and moving account of a soldier’s life during battle. He honestly describes not only his actions but also his feelings during this time and allows the reader to get a glimpse of what it was like to be on the battlefield and in the trenches of WWI. As a musician, I was fascinated to know that one aspect of his musical training came into play—he discovered he could discern the apex of incoming artillery missiles by hearing the sound change as they went from ascending to descending. This enabled his artillery to determine the distance they needed to accurately fire upon those artillery positions. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A brief record of the fighting on the Eastern front in the great war, first published in 1915. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was an Austrian (later American) violinist and composer, one of the most famous violinists of his day. Kreisler was noted for his uniquely sweet tone, and also for his expressive phrasing. He produced a characteristic sound, which was immediately recognizable as his own. He briefly served in the Austrian Army in World War I before being honourably discharged after he was wounded. He spent the remaining years of the war in America. He returned to Europe in 1924, living first in Berlin, then moving to France in 1938. Shortly thereafter, at the outbreak of World War II, he settled once again in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1943. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
