Stylistically, La Gitana captures a flamenco-tinged character through its sinuous, modal-inflected theme and rhythmic accents. The solo violin’s gypsy-style trills, double-stops, and portamenti sit atop transparent orchestral textures, balancing lyrical charm with technical flair—hallmarks of Kreisler’s idiom without excess elaboration.
