Capricci ... et arie in partitura, Vol. 1 No. 1, Capriccio Primo sopra ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la is a keyboard work composed by Girolamo Frescobaldi. It was composed in the early 17th century and premiered in Rome. The work is divided into six movements, each based on a different note of the hexachord (ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la). The first movement, based on ut, is a lively and virtuosic piece that showcases the performer's technical abilities. The second movement, based on re, is more contemplative and introspective, with a slower tempo and more complex harmonies. The third movement, based on mi, is a lively dance in triple meter, with a playful and syncopated rhythm. The fourth movement, based on fa, is a more serious and dramatic piece, with a slower tempo and more complex harmonies. The fifth movement, based on sol, is a lively and energetic piece, with a fast tempo and virtuosic runs and trills. The final movement, based on la, is a lively and joyful dance in triple meter, with a playful and syncopated rhythm. Overall, Capricci ... et arie in partitura, Vol. 1 No. 1, Capriccio Primo sopra ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la is a virtuosic and technically demanding work that showcases Frescobaldi's mastery of keyboard writing. The six movements are each based on a different note of the hexachord, and showcase a range of moods and emotions, from contemplative and introspective to lively and joyful.
