Perhaps the finest tribute to this pio:o of music has been ron dored by Kreisler himself for he first played it for its pure musi cal beauty, unaware oven that its composer was an American. It has a slow, rocking, haunting rhythm, almost an ideal berceuse, with phrases joined by odd little tendrils of melody.
