Dello Joio - Capriccio (On the Interval of a Second)
on: March 26, 2006, 10:44:08 PM
Well, everyone, I finally got the guts to post my own recording. The piece is by Dello Joio, called Capriccio (on the interval of a second). It's rarely played, but I honestly think that it's his greatest piece (even better than the Sonata). Difficulty wise, I also found it harder than the entire Prokofiev Sonata No. 2!  Anyways, after church, some guy needed to test out his recording equipment on their Steinway Concert Grand (Yeah, I know. It's a really rich church), so I volunteered to play the Dello.

um...this playing is definately not my best (the best was during the audition season), so don't expect a perfect/professional recording. Thanks for listening guys! Enjoy!

EDIT: Stupid forum won't take my MP4, and I have no idea how to convert it. So here it is at yousendit for now. If you can help me change it to MP3, Jpeg,or mp3g, Please do! Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliment, man. And yes, this definately took the longest to learn out of the audition repertoire.
