Fantasy On The Magic Flute Op. 54

For Violin And Piano

The Spaniard Pablo De Sarasate (1844 1908) Was A Composing Violin Player, Not A Composer Playing The Violin. The Salon Society For Which He Performed Asked For Opera Fantasias On Popular Themes, And Sarasate Satisfied This Fashionable Trend. Still, He Made Himself A Name As A Composer. His Fantasia On The "Zauberflöte" Is The Most Demanding Among All Of Those Arrangements Of Equal Significance That Were Written On Famous Mozart Melodies. And It Was Sarasate's Last Composition.
