Fritz Kreisler was born in Vienna in Austria. He studied at the conservatoires there and in Paris, where his teachers included Léo Delibes. He made his first tour of America in 1888-89, then returned to Austria and applied for a position in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. He was turned down, and left music to study first medicine, then painting. He spent a brief time in the army before returning to the violin 1899, giving a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Arthur Nikisch. It was this concert and a series of American tours from 1901 to 1903 that brought him real acclaim.
