12 Caprices (2025)
(for guitar solo)

12 Capices for solo guitar

To talk about miniatures, is to talk of glimpses, a framing of the fugitive, written in a few days at end of March '25, an apology for not arriving in Andalusia perhaps; gestures from a cubist Lorca perhaps, prefaced as they are by Lorca's Capriccio, after all –.

"In the moon's web,
the sky spider,
stars are entangled,
whirling."
_{Federico Garcia Lorca}

Fleeting images of an idea; of a form; of an uncertainty, an instrument fugitive, perhaps.

Dedicated to the American poet Dan Albertson (see you in Andalusia next year)
