Zigeunerweisen!!! OMG!
OMG is right. If she skates to this music she will make a statement.

Never heard that music...anyone have a clip?
Wow, never heard of this piece before. And I studied German, I don't know what it means either. "Ziegeunerweise" -- any German speakers to enlighten us?
It's a very nice piece, really varied. Lots of texture. Lots of variety. Bold indeed.
I wonder if this is indeed the piece. I guess Z is not a common syllable to begin a song with, and German is not an unlikely candidate.
ETA: the fast movement at the end is familiar-sounding, so I have heard it before. And it's very fast! Good for footwork and maybe also spins.
If Ziegeunerweisen is it, as you all suggest, I bet she will keep the slow movement in the middle. It seems to fit her well. It's a very exciting piece. I like it.
I think Ann Patrice has used this music before. Caroline is a great violinist, so I'm 99% positive she chose Zigeurnerweisen. Very nice piece for her.
Zigeunerweisen!!! OMG!
She did say a fast violin piece at one point, so it all makes sense.
Is there a link to Ann Patrice's performance?

But most importantly, who will choreograph Zigeunerweisen? I'm hoping either Sarah Kawahara or Tom Dickson. I want Caroline de-Nicoled.
I'm also impressed that Caroline has selected her programs (at least the SP) and is already presumably training them so early in the year. Is this the norm for other skaters as well?
I suppose she wants to know the programs like the back of her hand in time for the Olympics - I have a feeling Caroline is the type of skater who puts out in competition what she usually does in practice.

I've never really seen Caroline glow in her programs (like she does for her exhibitions), but I think this would really let her skate euphorically while still expressing her graceful quality on the ice-- with a quicker tempo that shouldn't overwhelm her.
I think you're right. Nice pick! I wonder if there's other Chopin music that would work for the FP. The Fantaisie Impromptu maybe? I see Yamaguchi and Slutskaya used it. http://au.truveo.com/Kristi-Yamaguchi-TP-Fantaisie-Impromptu-by-Chopin/id/3126023875I think Caroline should consider this for a future SP (if indeed she already has her SP music for the 09-10 season)-- its a perfect speed, lightness and the piano melody is a nice variation from the usual violin music she chooses.

Ann Patrice McDonough skated to it for her SP at the 2002 Jr Worlds.
