Best Answer

From the Fritz Kreisler entry to the Concise Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians:

"He (Kreisler) ... published a number of pieces in the classical vein, which he ascribed to various old composers (Vivaldi, Pugnani, Couperin, Padre Martini, Dittersdorf, Francoeur, Stamitz, and others). In 1935 he reluctantly admitted that these pieces were his own, with the exception of the first 8 bars from the "Couperin" Chanson Louis XIII taken from a traditional melody; he explained his motive in doing so by the necessity of building up well-rounded programs for his concerts that would contain virtuoso pieces by old composers, rather than a serious of compositions under his own, as yet unknown, name."
