Tzigane For Violin And Piano

“Virtuoso Piece In The Style Of A Hungarian Rhapsody” – Thus Reads Ravel’S Entry On “Tzigane” In The So Called “Autobiographical Sketch”. Composed In 1924, There Are Three Versions Of This Work: With Piano, With Orchestra And With Luthéal, A Device For Keyboard Instruments To Extend The Timbre. “Tzigane” Was Inspired By The Hungarian English Violinist Jelly D’Aranyi, To Whom Ravel Had Already Promised A Virtuoso Piece In 1922 Following Franz Liszt’S “Hungarian Rhapsodies”. Work Progressed Slowly Andd’Aranyi Only Received The Music Four Days Before The Première – But Sh E Still Gave A Brilliant Performance.
