Wieniawski, Scherzo Tarentella Op. 16 for Violin and Piano (IMC) simplyforstrings Using just six notesHenryk Wieniawski was not only one of the most important violin virtuosos in the 19th century but also wrote tailor made showpieces for his instrument thus making some brilliant contributions to the repertoire. With his Scherzo Tarantella it is as if he could not decide whether to write a classical subdued Scherzo or an unrestrained Italian folkdance. So he chose a double title and thus aptly captured the unique character of this captivating piece.
