Programme Note
'Capriccio' is the second of three brass works written by Leonard Salzedo for the PJBE. It is in one continuous movement which falls into three main sections. The first, marked Allegro assai moderato is highly rhythmic in motifs. The second section, Andante, begins with a passage for solo tuba. The mood is very quiet and contemplative at first, but gradually becomes more animated and, after a slightly quicker passage, returns to its opening tranquillity. It leads into the final section which uses a scale derived from one of the Arabic modes. Each of the individual instruments is featured in a short rhythmic solo before the final climax.
