Beautiful and technical!

Fun music, and not written for beginners. Even skillful musicians will struggle with this one. I am a Conservatory student myself, and I can barely play a few lines here and there. I have played Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate in the past and found it fun to play. Carmen Fantasie is...
