Concerto capriccioso for clarinet and symphony orchestra by the Petersburgian composer Alexey Mylnikov is generated in the so-called manner of eager for classics, the objective of which is in subsequent intentional adherence to the classical aesthetic in music art. Mylnikov's exceptional classics conception was realized in his chamber-symphonic opuses (''Variations for Symphony Orchestra to the Theme BACH'', symphonies ''Classical Interior'' and ''Magic Flute 2006'', personal piano school ''Toy's Birth'', duets and trios for clarinets, Capriccio for violin solo, Ricercare for cello etc.), being researched in details by J. S. Avramkova, O. Yu. Koshelev, M. B. Levchenko.
The Concerto consists of one movement, where three main characters are elaborated: the Andante is woven of arioso intonations, shaded in gentle, refined accompaniment of the strings, percussion and harp. The second imaginative sphere evolves as the sonata allegro sparkling with jolly humour, reverberating in kaleido scope of meandering oblique transformations. The third imaginative sphere is over flown with lyrical feelings, this is the slow melancholy waltz, the music of which is permeated with mystery and enigma.
