[Hammer of Los]

...

Change occurs when the pain of doing the same thing
Is worse than the fear of change.

Isn't it strange, the change ain't happenin'.

This isn't 1963, and you'd have to be high on LSD,
To think this is the land of the free with its income inequality.

Gitana music influenced several of the late 19th century European composers as Johannes Brahms and Franz Liszt. More information at Gitana | photos Gypsy, Romani, Gitana.

These vids were the best selections of random listenings found. I’ve heard other Romano music in stream programs that didn’t sound nearly as Westernized.

^ Paganini Caprice #24 | Danny Gill, guitarist

WIKI introductory excerpt | The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1, were written by Niccolò Paganini between 1802 and 1817 and published in 1819.[1] They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento’s Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini, which was published in 1982. The caprices are in the form of études, with each number studying individual skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.)

Edition Peters first published them in 1819; Ricordi later published another edition in 1821. When Paganini released his caprices, he dedicated them “to the Artists” rather than to a specific person.

Unlike many earlier and later sets of 24 pieces, there was no intention to write these caprices in 24 different keys.
