Baraaate was a popular composer and in modern violin literature no work la better known than his "Gypsy Melo dies," usually ' written "Zlegeunerwels-. en." Hla Spanish airs and romances are particularly admired. Lalo wrote hla flrat concerto for Sarasat to play and Max Bruch wrote his second concerto and his Scotch fantasle for him.
