“I always wanted to create a project that would combine my work as a composer with the years I spent developing, without being aware of it, a technique for the ten-string mandolin. "Caprichos" is a collection of 24 themes set as poems of musical notes, instrumental songs that allow the pleasure of listening while simultaneously engaging the fingers in their technical development. I am grateful for the Funarte Award and I thank everyone who was involved in this project for their dedication and fundamental contributions to its creation.” Hamilton de Holanda
