PRODUCT INFORMATION

In 1887 Rimsky-Korsakov wrote one of his most brilliant compositions, the Capriccio espagnol. It is based on a draft Fantasia on Spanish Themes for violin and orchestra, so that therefore also explains the importance of the part of the solo violin. Designed in 1866. With the instrumentation started on 12th June 1867. The work completed on the evening of St. John‘s Day on June 23, 1867 – so the first score of Modest Mussorgsky keeps the stations of the creation of the work A Night on the Bare Mountain fixed.
