Farina: Capriccio stravagante for Violin, Two Violas, Cello, and Continuo

SOMETHING TO KNOW:

Each short section of this comical and peculiar piece represents a particular instrument or animal.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:

Perhaps the strangest episode in this highly imaginative piece is a series of string slides depicting a mewling cat.

Recorded live in Alice Tully Hall on December 10, 2019.
