Capricci for Flute and Piano

Capricci for Flute and Piano

By Bilotta John

J. Bilotta: Capricci for flute and piano was written in 2016 and premiered by flutist Teressa Orozco and pianist Libby Kardontchik in November 2016 in Palo Alto and Belmont, California.

Capricci is a virtuosic encore written as a single movement, approximately five minutes long, featuring three contrasting sections with syncopations and off-beat gestures.
