Czardas for cello and piano by Vittorio Monti
Arranged by Julius S. Seredy. Published by Carl Fischer
Italian composer Vittorio Monti (1868-1922) studied in Naples, but made his career in Paris, where he wrote much in the way of music for the stage. He also made significant contributions to the mandolin repertory and performance. He is most known today, however, for his rhapsodic concert work ''Czardas'' (1904) for violin and piano, based on the Hungarian dance of the same name. It has become a recital standard for experienced players and students alike, known for its deep expressive qualities. This piece is presented here in an arrangement for cello for the first time. Intermediate-Advanced level, Grade 4.
