Monti, Vittorio: Czardas
MM-5
Vittorio Monti, the Italian violinist, conductor and composer, as conductor of the Parisian Lamoureux orchestra composed several ballets and operettas. The only work of his that is well-known today is the virtuoso Csárdás, composed in 1904, which is a rewarding, successful piece for every gipsy orchestra. Many arrangements of it are known, from the solo saxophone version to that for full orchestra.
