The Romantic Period virtuoso, Pablo de Sarasate, is one of the core figures in the performance violin virtuosity. He was praise as "the end of the 19th century’s Paganini " because of his inimitable performance style, sweet silver tone and good at playing the virtuosity pieces. Sarasate began the concert tours in his youth age and life experiences made his music more dramatic tension and show personal expression. Sarasate’s several virtuosity salon pieces are full of exquisite melody and virtuosity, which enriches the music idioms and being loved by many musicians and music lovers.

This thesis explores the violin virtuosity of Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy from the perspectives of the nineteenth-century violin virtuosity. Use 19th century's standard virtuosity works – Paganini 24 Caprices and Paganini violin concerto no.1, 3rd movement as an example, analyzing the technical virtuosity of violin, from the left hand to the right hand, and the combination of both hands’ technique. After exploring the music material with opera "Carmen", lyrics meaning, background and analysis music, one can figure out how Sarasate interpreted character with virtuosity and designed different virtuosity in melody. Hope when violinist interpret this piece, could have more theatrical affect and perfection of the performance.
