The hypothesis of this study entails the formulation of interpretative solutions for J. S.
Bach's Capriccio in B flat major. The "Interpretative Analysis" mentioned in the title,
strives to provide a synthesis in which the cognitive understanding of the music can
contribute to a more informed aesthetic interpretation of the music. In the ensuing study
this objective is realised by examining the origin of the work and the sources from which it
was handed down, the style in which the Capriccio was composed and conceived, the
performance practices prevalent in the early eighteenth century and the applicability thereof
to the music of J. S. Bach, the structure of the Capriccio, and lastly the different
instruments on which the Capriccio can be performed and the impact which this choice has
on any performance thereof. / Department of Musicology / M.Mus.
