Praeludium and Allegro


Praeludium and Allegro is a piece for violin and piano written by Fritz Kreisler. It was a musical hoax originally ascribed to Gaetano Pugnani.
The piece was first published in 1905, among others pieces the composer ascribed to lesser-known composers of the 18th Century. It is now one of the most popular works in the violin repertoire, and an important step in the violin pedagogy.
