Twenty Four Caprices for Violin and Caprice d'Adieu - Paperback

by Emanuel E. Garcia (Author)

A collection of whimsical, fantastic, poignant, macabre and capricious tales, each of which features the violin. Set in wide-ranging locations and milieux, from Vienna to Nashville, Florence to New York, Venice to New Zealand, they capture the bittersweet and ridiculous nature of human follies - romance, repression, vanity, fidelity, ugliness, adultery, mischief, mastery, innocence and betrayal.
