Fritz Kreisler

White charcoal on black medium paper.  Mr. Kreisler is an Austrian-born Anerican violinist who manifested his extraordinary talent at the age of 4.  By 7 he was already at the Vienna Conservatory of Music.  He surrounded himself with people of big stature in music and benefited so much from them.  Awards and accolades came out easy for his genius talent, and toured Europe and US 
almost instantly.  Then he got bored, decided to be a doctor of Medicine. When he came back to music he was welcomed and even came out bigger with his natural gift in music. 
He was known for his immortal compositions like Caprice Viennoise, Tambourin Chinoise, Schon Rosmarin, and Leibesfreud. In other words, in our modern street lingo, we say, the guy is a natural born cool dude.
