ALEXANDRE LEVY (1864 -1892)
PIANO WORKS - STUDY AND RECORDINGS
Impromptu-Caprice op.1
The Impromptu-Caprice op. 1 was published by B. Schott (Mainz, n.d.) and by Irmãos Vitale in 1963, with revision by Souza Lima. Musicologist Arnaldo Senise dates the composition to 1882. The dedication is “À mon frère Louis Levy”. This work, among others, is influenced by early European Romantics such as Schumann, but the elegance of the writing also makes one think of the French composers, such as Saint-Saens.
