Zigeunerweisen

20, is a musical composition for violin and orchestra written in 1878 by the Spanish composer Pablo de Sarasate.

Before the thunderous 4th movement, the following sentence can be heard: "Abajo el pedal de la sordina".

Zigeunerweisen is scored for solo violin and an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in B-flat, two bassoons, two horns in F, two trumpets in F, timpani (in G–C and then E–A), triangle, and strings.

It provided the title and much of the soundtrack for Seijun Suzuki's 1980 film Zigeunerweisen.

Double bassist Edgar Meyer recorded a version with Mike Marshall on the 1997 album Uncommon Ritual.
