The Ligue was not happy with this response and, in a show of sour grapes, banned his music from its concert productions.
On the German side, composer and violinist Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) was a notable recruit. As a violinist he had spent much time touring, including in England. Indeed Edward Elgar (of Pomp and Circumstance fame) composed his Violin Concerto for Kreisler, who performed it in London in 1910. With the outbreak of the war, however, he was recalled to duty and sent to Germany’s eastern front. As a musician, he was keenly aware of the different types of sounds in battle and recorded his observations about them in his memoir:
My ear, accustomed to differentiate sounds of all kinds, had some time ago, while we still advanced, noted a remarkable discrepancy in the peculiar whine produced by the different shells in their rapid flight through the air as they passed over our heads, some sounding shrill, with a rising tendency, and the others rather dull, with a falling cadence.
