"Capriceā for woodwind quintet was completed in February 2024, and as the title implies encapsulates the spirit of persistent transformation in both mood and tempo.

These same patterns also appear in the slower sections where there is far less volatility. The softer moments of the work drastically reshape the piece for much needed repose.
