One of the most celebrated cellists of his day, virtuosic composer Alfredo Piatti performed with the likes of Liszt and Mendelssohn Bartholdy. His 12 Capricci Op. 25 are a must for all advanced Celloplayers.
Piatti's 12 Capricci have been compared by Sir Yehudi Menuhin to the Cello Suites by J. S. Bach - in fact, Menuhin referred to the two works as the 'Old and New Testament' of Celloliterature.
This Henle Urtext publication is the very first time that the work has been produced in a practical study edition.
