Capriccio was written in 1993 for Krzysztof Penderecki in celebration of his inspired music, his dedicated teaching, and his 60th birthday. The work may be heard as a character sketch, mixing spirited determination with humor and playfulness, aspects of Penderecki's personality I most admire. I chose to write for violin because the instrument is one of Mr. Penderecki's favorites and because he himself was a violinist. Also, I gave the work a title similar to the first Penderecki piece I studied years ago, a composition for solo cello entitled, Capriccio per Siegfried Palm.
