Capriccio

Description

Wayne Peterson’s Capriccio, for flute and piano.

‘From 1972, the Capriccio for flute and piano is an effective, highly coloristic and compact concert work. Mr. Peterson’s musical language is steeped in the 12-tone esthetic without even being strict about the technique. His linear writing is often darting and angular. But Bartok’s harmony and Stravinsky’s rhythmic energy are also influences. The flute tends to dominate this duo, which gets fairly combative.’

– Anthony Tommasini, New York Times, 1999.

For advanced players.
