Fingering and bowing bsed on those of Wieniawski by Ray Iwazumi.

Henryk 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. Henle's edition contains the detailed original fingerings and bowings from the first edition - occasionally supplemented by the editor Ray Iwazumi, a renowned authority on the repertoire.
