“Capriciousness” nowadays has a rather negative connotation. It implies arbitrariness, an unreliable and wishy-washy character. In the 18th century capriciousness was foremost associated with creativity. The differentiation between written out small ornaments (wesentliche Manieren) and improvisation (willkürliche Manieren) describes the amount of freedom in interpretation. In this programme concertos for strings and woodwinds are presented showcasing the artists’ improvising creativity. We hope to surprise our audience!
