The Capriccio for Violin and Orchestra[1] is a composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.
This composition was finished in 1967 and was intended for performance in Donaueschingen, on October 22, 1967.
On that occasion, Ernest Bour conducted the South West German Radio Orchestra, with Wanda Wilkomirska as the violin soloist.
[2][3] It was eventually dedicated to Heinrich Strobel[3][4] and published by the Polish Music Publishing House and Moeck Musikinstrumente + Verlag[5] and, later on, by Schott Music.
[3] Contrary to its concertante nature, the cadenza is fairly close to the beginning.
