CZARDAS No.1

The Italian composer, violinist, mandolinist and conductor Vittorio Monti was born in Naples where he studied music. In 1904, while he was conductor of the Lamoureux Orchestra in Paris, Monti wrote the first and better known of his two czardas. He scored it for violin, mandolin or piano but it has since been transcribed or arranged for orchestra and for a variety of solo instruments. Parts of the tune have been used in film and television scores and pop songs.

Based on a Hungarian folk tune of the same name, Czardas is written in seven distinct sections. Key signatures alternate between D minor and D Major and tempi range from'largo' to 'Allegro vivace - tempo piu presto' at the end. Add to that a dynamic range from 'pianississimo' to 'fortissimo' and the opportunities for pronounced rubato, and the piece has every thing needed for an exciting performance.
