Tambourin Chinois, Op. 3, known in English as Chinese Tambourine or Chinese Drum, is a piece by composer Fritz Kreisler for Violin and Piano. It is one of his most well-known pieces behind his Old Viennese Melodies and Praeludium and Allegro. [1]
The piece is inspired from a performance of traditional Chinese music heard by the composer while they visited San Francisco. [2] As such, the piece is highly inspired by the pentatonic scale, though Kreisler said that he did not take any thematic information from his visit. [3]
