Born in 1980, Kuzma represents a new generation of Russian composers that are turning away from the avant-garde and searching for a new national identity.

The Caprice was commissioned by Deutsche Welle and premiered by violinist Nikita Borisoglebski and the Anton-Rubinstein-Orchestra from the St. Petersburg Conservatory at the 2008 Beethovenfest in Bonn.
