#Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy Airs), Op. 20, is a musical composition for #violin and #orchestra written in 1878 by the Spanish composer #Pablo de #Sarasate. It was premiered the same year in Leipzig, Germany. It is based on themes of the #Roma people, and in the last section the rhythms of the #csárdás; this section uses a theme previously used in Franz Liszt's Hungarian #Rhapsody No. 13, composed in 1847.
As one of Sarasate's most popular composition and a favorite among
violin #virtuosi, the work has remained a staple on records at least
since Sarasate himself recorded it in 1904. It has been recorded by a
large number of #violinists. ( Wiki )
