Rabbit Trail: Csárdás - Vittorio Monti

Estimated Time: 10 minutes

One of the sisters, Isa Vanderbeeker, plays a beautiful piece of music called "Csárdás" by Vittorio Monti on her violin. This happens right after the Vanderbeeker kids find out they have to leave their home. Isa uses her music to express her feelings.

"Csárdás" is a traditional Hungarian dance that starts very slow and then gets faster and faster. When Isa plays this on her violin, it shows how mixed up and intense her feelings about having to move are.

Watch this video of "Csárdás" being played.
