Artist: Anghelus Dinicu
Author: Ciprian Porumbescu
Year: 1880s
Romanian for The Lark and that's exactly what it sounds like. Hals und Bein-breaking violin piece.
Covers:
George Enescu [at the end of his first Romanian Rhapsody]
Grigoras Dinicu [the author's grandson for Decca; see also: Hora Staccato]
Phoenix [Romanian rock band as The Lark; dictatorship forced them to choose material in their own backyard exclusively, which they did: sounds like the Iron Curtain equivalent of Dave Edmunds' Sabre Dance; they migrated to Germany where they operate as Transsylvania Phoenix]
