12 Caprices, composed by James Dillon for guitar solo in digital sheet music format [EP73798].
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)
* caprice from the Italian capriccio 'a shivering'
