Did Kreisler have children?

July 17, 2004 at 07:09 PM · I have not yet read the latest biography of Fritz Kreisler (i.e., 'Love's Joy, Love's Sorrow').

Does anyone know if Fritz Kreisler had a child/children? Heirs?

Thanks.

Fritz Kreisler and his wife Harriet did not have any children. Although there is evidence that Harriet was pregnant several times throughout the marriage, none of those pregnancies resulted in living children. Kreisler did, however, have a nephew (who I believe was named Fredrich - but don't quote me on that). Whether this nephew was an heir, I do not recall.

Hope this answers your questions. Even if it does, though, get "Love's Joy, Love's Sorrow" soon; it's a trip. Chapter Four, "Fritzi and Harriet", is especially amusing.

Musically, Emily
