Variations on the Russian Folk Song "Korobeiniki" (original composition)

This is my composition for violin and piano. It's called "Variations on the Russian Folk Song Korobeiniki."
Korobeiniki (Коробейники) means peddlers (door-to-door travelling salesmen). It's a nineteenth-century Russian folk song which tells the story of a meeting between a peddler and his beloved.
The words are based on a poem written in 1861 by Nikolay Nekrasov (1821-1877). The melody was used in the 1988 Nintendo video game "Tetris."
