What it is?
Il Capriccio del Maestro by Nobile 1942 is dedicated to one of the most important composers in Italian music history: Giacomo Puccini. "He loved dissolute company. Lazy and brilliant, neurotic, arrogant yet shy, goliardic and primitive—he thrived in the presence of others but craved solitude just as intensely. He was deeply tied, almost morbidly so, to the mists of his lake in Lucca. He cherished the raids that shattered the peace of wild nature, the gunshots, and the coarse exclamations of his people—yet he longed to escape. Milan beckoned, promising career success, fame, glory, wealth, and beautiful women. Women and cigars were a constant in his life. Sensitive and cynical, extroverted yet plagued by distress, his sudden bursts of loud joy, often rough around the edges, were followed by melancholy and restlessness. A man of imagination, yet a discontinuous worker; a lover and sufferer with shameless passion, he often defied societal norms. Like the female characters he created, he lived above the rules—shamelessly lying, boasting, and betraying.
