Kapper wrote excellent fairy tales and poems, and was one of the leading figures of Czech-Jewish assimilation. Kapper wrote in both German and Czech. He translated Mácha's Máj into German for the first time (1844). Austrian composer Nina Stollewerk used Kapper's text for her composition "Zwei Gedichte," opus 5.
