About this item
This famous violin showpiece sounds great as a full orchestra work! Although written by Italian Vittorio Monti, this well-loved work is regularly played by Gypsy orchestras throughout Hungary, Romania and Eastern Europe. The csardas is a Hungarian dance originating from the music played in the csarda, a tavern in farming villages. There are two sections; a slow lassu section and a fast friss ("fresh") section, creating a piece rich in flavor with equal portions of lyricism and technical brilliance.

Composer
Vittorio Monti (1868-1922)
Vittorio Monti (6 January 1868 – 20 June 1922) was an Italian composer, violinist, and conductor.
Monti was born in Naples, where he studied violin and composition at the Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella. Around 1900 he got an assignment as the conductor for the Lamoureux Orchestra in Paris, where he wrote several ballets and operettas, for example, Noël de Pierrot.
His only famous work is his Csárdás, written around 1904 and played by almost every gypsy orchestra.
