Monique's Moldavian Fantasy is inspired by a 1908 recording of the Klezmer violinist Joseph Solinsky of Warsaw (Rumeynishe Fantazi no.1). On the original recording, you can hear the Klezmer violinist feeling the melody in a 2/4 rhythm, while the (probably) Gypsy cimbalom player accompanying him, feels more of a 3/8 groove. This is how we play it here: a Klezmer melody inspired by the slow hora style of the Rumanian Gypsies, while flirting with more modern Moldavian folk harmonies. Monique is playing the trumpet-violin.
