Capriccio No. 1 for Organ is a reverent and meditative piece written by Minnesota composer Simon Sperl (SimonSperl.com). The piece is a discussion about the Zen symbol ens�. The ens� is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express the present moment. It can symbolize absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and/or mu (the void or not; nothing). Sperl uses a repeated figure of a portion of the circle of fifths to represent this circle. The meditative quality of the music is meant to help the listener find peace and the eternal now.

This piece is a real show stopper for virtuosos: repetitive 1/16 Notes open the motoric movement throughout the piece. Clear and catchy melody lines alter with chord strokes, often syncopated, in the tutti passages. Typical Scottish is the rhythm of a reel and the scotch snap (short-long) motives in the melodies, which remind of backpipe tunes.
