Capriccio burlesco
Capriccio burlesco is an orchestral work by Sir William Walton, written between May and September 1968 at his home in Ischia, Italy.[1]
It was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic in celebration of its 125th anniversary, and was dedicated to Andre Kostelanetz, who conducted the first performance on 7 December 1968 at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York City.[2] Kostelanetz also made the premiere recording of the work, with the New York Philharmonic.[1]
The work lasts about 7 minutes and is exuberant, bustling and jaunty.
