Gypsy Czardas

Gypsy Czardas
   1) A poem written by the 19th-century Russian poet Appolon Grigoriev after his beloved Leonida married another man. Ivan Vasiliev, conductor of a Gypsy choir, composed the music, and it became popular with Gypsies in both St. Petersburg and Moscow. The tune is often sung with different words, but in recent years the original lyrics have returned to popularity.
   2) A variety of the Hungarian csardas danced by Gypsies without hand contact.
