Fritz Kreisler is known predominantly for his artistry as a violinist, particularly in performances of his own transcriptions and cadenzas, but he is also worthy of note as a composer. More than fifty of Kreisler's original compositions are represented in this collection, in sketch, manuscript, or printed form. Holographs of some of Kreisler's most popular compositions, such as Caprice viennois, Liebesfreud, and the Viennese rhapsodic fantasietta, are complemented by his manuscripts of less well-known works, including Drei Nachtgesänge (with poetry by Eichendorff) and his Song, op. 7, for violin and piano. Included among the holographs are several works of the Klassische Manuskripte series, a set of 14 pieces for violin and piano that were thought to be Kreisler's transcriptions of classical works until 1935, when it was revealed that they were his original compositions. Kreisler's Viennese light opera Sissy (1932) is also represented in the collection, both by holograph full scores of most of its individual numbers and by a complete printed vocal score.

Approximately 130 of Kreisler's transcriptions are included in the collection, adaptations of works by composers ranging from Corelli to Moussorgsky to Stephen Foster and Percy Grainger. The manuscripts and heavily annotated prints of Kreisler's transcriptions reveal the compositional process through which his characteristic virtuosic sound was achieved. For many such works there are 2 or more manuscript versions to compare with the holograph annotations to the printed edition.

The musical manuscripts and printed scores in the collection are by far its largest component, but they are supplemented by a number of Kreisler's personal papers, including correspondence, financial and legal documents, photographs, and honors. There are also various papers relating to Kreisler's violins and bows, and a collection of programs, itineraries, and clippings relevant to his activities as a performer.

The papers that journalist Louis Lochner (1887-1975) donated to the Library in 1960 are divided into two categories: those relating directly to Kreisler, and those pertaining to Lochner's 1950 biography, Fritz Kreisler. Kreisler's papers include letters, legal documents, and honors, as well as writings, programs, press releases, and clippings about Kreisler. Lochner's own papers Fritz Kreisler in the collection consist of notes and corrections for his biography, relevant correspondence, and other miscellaneous source material.
