About

The capriccio had become a fashionable form when Joseph-Marie-Clement (1710-1805), alias Giuseppe Clemens dall’Abaco, put down on paper his sensational collection of eleven solo caprices for violoncello. Unfortunately, history has failed miserably in recording the details of his life and his compositions have long since been overshadowed by the works of his father, Evaristo Felice. However, looking at his few preserved works shows how unjustified this was.
 
This is a world premiere recording of his spectacular set of eleven solo pieces for solo violoncello, pieces which set new standards for the capriccio. Although following late-Baroque rhetoric, these works have a tonal language that shows a strong inclination towards cantabile lines and narrative expression.
