It is in works such as the delightful Schön Rosmarin (Lovely Rosemary) where the spirit of Vienna is most affectionally evoked. This exquisite miniature surely breathes the same air as any Johann Strauss waltz, its pre-war charm and melodic gift undeniable. Its appearance in a 1905 collection entitled Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen (Old Viennese Dance Tunes) was deliberately misattributed to Joseph Lanner and included two companion pieces; the uplifting Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy) and the wistful Liebesleid (Love’s Sorrow), both stylish examples of the composer’s elegance.

Schön Rosmarin et le diptyque Liebesleid (Peine d’amour) et Liebesfreud (Joie d’amour), parus comme des Manuscrits classiques sous-titrés «Vieux airs de danse viennois», sont ce que Kreisler a composé de plus populaire dans le style de la valse viennoise.

Schön Rosmarin und das Werkpaar Liebesleid und Liebesfreud erschienen als Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen in den Klassischen Manuskripten und sind Kreislers beliebteste Stücke im Wiener Walzerstil.
