croathia:Johannes BrahmsCapriccio, Op. 76, No. 1.This manuscript was Brahms’s gift to Clara Schumann written on paper with a printed decorative border, and bears the inscription “Cl. Sch.” as well as the date “12. Sept. 71.” September 12, 1871 was the 31st anniversary of Clara’s marriage, and September 13 was her 52nd birthday. For most of the decade, the piece seems to have been known only to her, but in 1879, Brahms published a revised version, without a dedication and now bearing the title “Capriccio,” as the first in a set of Klavierstücke, Op. 76.
