There are few examples of musicians, born thousands of km away, who manage to interpret the folklore of a land so well. I am reminded of the "Capriccios" by Pyotr Ilyich and Spanish-style music
by French composers (Bizet and Ravel)

... I think that if we want to talk about a great Italian violinist from the second half of the 1800s, we should listen to this man:
AZZINI - LA RONDE DES LUTINS - Violin: Zino Francescatti

Antonio Bazzini - Grande Étude, Op. 49 No. 1, for violin and piano

The piece proposed by Rotore has had several reinterpretations and paraphrases in rock and pop styles: from Paco De Lucia
Czardas de Monti - Paco de Lucia

a Lady Gaga (in Alejandro, the violin melody in the introduction)
