"Cardash Dance" is a masterpiece by Italian violinist and composer Monti. "Cardash" is a Hungarian folk dance that appeared in the mid-19th century. Its music is composed of two Parts are composed: the first part is called "Lassau", the speed is slow and singing, in 2/4 or 4/8 time, this is the music when the male solo dancer appears; the second part is called "Fris" ( Friss), 2/4 beat. This dance has a distinct rhythm, fast speed and passionate emotions, and is used to accompany male and female pas de deux. The piece "Cardash" is written based on the typical characteristics of this dance music. When hearing it, it is like showing a folkloric picture of the life of the Hungarian people in front of us.

The piece consists of three parts:

(1) The violin first plays a free-paced and passionate introduction in the bass area, and then plays a deep and slightly sad theme. , it is deep and strong, sad and full of expectation, and this theme forms the unique "Rachau" passage of Chardash dance music.

(2) Followed by a smooth and gorgeous minor melody. Both melodies have distinct characteristics of Hungarian and Gypsy music. Then, the music turns to the fast and lively "Fris" section of Chaldas, creating a cheerful and unrestrained atmosphere. This piece of dance music is composed of two frequently appearing 16th note phrases, A and B, and is processed with syncopated rhythm, making the music very lively. After a transitional section, the music suddenly calmed down and slowed down a bit in rhythm, and then became very clear and relaxed as the music shifted to the key of D major. The violin, full of beautiful fantasy, slowly plays a soft and euphemistic singing theme melody with two tones. This simple and sweet melody is reproduced through the overtones of the violin, forming a moving effect like a valley echo.

(3) Then after the music reproduces the phrase composed of 16th notes in section B, the music turns to a clear melody evolved from section A and played in a major key, repeated over and over again. The music reaches a passionate climax and ends in a clear major key. It is now one of the test pieces for violin level 9.
