Steffan, Joseph Anton - 5 Capricci (First Edition)

ISMN	9790201802275 (M201802275)

---

On hearing Joseph Anton Steffan’s (1726–1797) numerous songs or piano works, he can immediately be identified as an original precursor of Romanticism. His harmonically refined “Capricci” – whose tempi and metre often change – are particularly attractive, although to date they have lain around in archives in manuscript form. We have dug up these treasures and are offering a first edition of the five Capricci with excellent Henle engraving and with a short introductory preface.
