#violin #music #dinicu Grigoraș Ionică Dinicu (April 3, 1889 – March 28, 1949) was a Romanian violin virtuoso and composer of Roma ethnicity. He is most famous for his often-played virtuoso violin showpiece “Hora staccato“ (1906) and for making popular the tune Ciocârlia, composed by his grandfather Angheluș Dinicu for “nai“ (the Romanian pan flute). It is rumored that Jascha Heifetz once said that Grigoraș Dinicu was the greatest violinist he had ever heard. In the 1930s he was involved in the political movement of the Romanian Roma and was made honorary president of the “General Union of the Romanian Roma“. Other well known compositions are: Hora mărțișorului (Mărțișor, literally “little March“, is a major Romanian seasonal holiday on March 1), Ceasornicul (The Clock) and Căruța poștei (The Post Wagon). Performed at “Phuket School of Music“ by Anna Konoplyova - violin Giorgi Latso - piano Григораш Динику - “Мартовский Хоровод“
