This is a transcription of “Capriccio for Violin” from the original violin solo. The orchestral accompaniment and the piano reduction are the same for both versions. “Capriccio” was originally commissioned  by the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra for violinist Krista Buckland but later, violist Christoph Chung requested that I transcribe it for viola. There were various difficulties adapting the double stops due to the different tuning of the viola which caused me to change a very small section of the orchestration to accommodate the chordal progression of the cadenza as well as changing some of the registration to make it more viola friendly.
