David Garrett - Zigeunerweisen (Pablo De Sarasate)

Please buy the CD if you like it! Composer: Pablo de Sarasate Lento: the violin plays in lugubrious lento 4/4. This section has an improvisational quality; the melody, which essentially consists of pairs of 4-bar phrases, is punctuated with difficult runs and other technically demanding figures, including flying spiccato and ricochet bowings. Un Peu Plus Lent: The muted soloist plays a melancholic melody with the so-called reverse-applied dotted note: 1/16 dotted 1/8 rhythm. Allegro Molto Vivace: At this point, the piece becomes extremely rapid. The challenging solo part consists mainly of long spiccato runs, along with double stops, artificial harmonics and left-hand pizzicato.
