Description
Henryk Wieniawski was not only one of the most renowned violin virtuosos of the 19th century, but he also composed brilliant showpieces tailored to his instrument, making significant contributions to the repertoire. In his Scherzo-Tarantella, it is as if Wieniawski could not decide whether to write a restrained classical scherzo or an unrestrained Italian folk dance. By using the dual title, he aptly captured the work's unique character. This edition includes the detailed original fingerings and bowings from the first publication, supplemented in places by editor Ray Iwazumi, a renowned authority on the repertoire.
