Hey that's not how you play trills in "gypsy" violin music. That is how you play them with Handel. With Romanian violin music you treat trills as building blocks not as ornaments.... and you play them FAST - no room for faint heart articulation. If you played like that at a Rmanian wedding they'd probably stab you - and rightfully so :-) good luck.

Am I crazy, or do parts of that song sound like the theme in 'A Boy and His Blob' for the NES? Amazing playing, amazing expression! It's gorgeous.

@levisss9 She loves the music, not the history. Leave her be. =)

Not even close of gypsy music ... Not even close of romanian folk. There are 2 differences with us, Gypsy = Indian, Romanian = Traci ... History, It's not hard ... LEARN IT !

I love it! Not one hit in the American top 40 is so beautifully complex.

Interesting: having the son of the composer (of part) commenting. Yes, i think a lot of times we forget that without the composer, the violinist performing wouldn't be able to shine.
Another thing is the definition, not of gypsy, but of gypsy music. Gypsies travel a lot, i think, and therefore pick up musical elements from where they pass; and then they create their own styles, since they sort of stay to themselves. In Asia Minor and Europe Gypsies are allowed to travel from country to country.
