The Spaniard Pablo de Sarasate (1844 - 1908) was a composing violin player, not a composer playing the violin. The salon society for which he performed asked for opera fantasias on popular themes, and Sarasate satisfied this fashionable trend. Still, he made himself a name as a composer. His fantasia on the "Zauberflöte" is the most demanding among all of those arrangements of equal significance that were written on famous Mozart melodies. And it was Sarasate's last composition. Instrumentation : violin and piano op. 54
