Regondi's achievements were lost to posterity for decades until his compositions were rediscovered, edited by Simon Wynberg and published by Chanterelle in 1981. His works combine virtuosity with touching intensity, pleasing to performers and audiences alike. Introduction et Caprice, Op. 23 opens with an intricate Adagio in E major, full of stately themes, powerful chords, elaborate embellishment, and miniature cadenza-like bars, as well as rapid scale passages and fast arpeggio sequences. This is contrasted with a scintillating Allegretto scherzando. After the initial thematic statement, various flights of fancy are offered in brilliant episodes, providing a dazzling display of pyrotechnics.
