Capriccio II for Two Pianos [HL:380352]

The original Capriccio was commissioned in 2005 by the University of Southern California as a short piano concerto. Capriccio II is a response to, a re-thinking of, the original Capriccio, now for two pianos instead of piano and orchestra. The overall mood is one of joyous abandon, with fast, rather athletic music surrounding a central chaconne of lyric intensity. Capriccio II was completed in March 2016, with premiere performances by HOCKET in Fall 2016.
