Capriccio

Japanese: カプリッチョ
Capriccio
In French, it is called caprice, and can also be translated as rhapsody or fantasy. In Baroque keyboard music, it was used to describe pieces with a fugal character but a relatively free form. From the 19th century onwards, the name came to be used for short instrumental pieces of a whimsical nature, such as Mendelssohn's and Brahms' piano pieces. Paganini also used the name for an unaccompanied violin exercise, and there are also orchestral pieces such as Stravinsky's Capriccio for piano and orchestra.

Japanese:
フランス語ではカプリスcapriceで,奇想曲,狂想曲とも訳す。バロック時代の鍵盤(けんばん)音楽で,フーガ的性格をもちながら比較的自由な形式をもつものに使われた。19世紀以降は,気まぐれな性格の器楽小品にこの名称が用いられるようになり,メンデルスゾーンやブラームスのピアノ小品が書かれた。また,パガニーニは無伴奏のバイオリン練習曲にこの名称を使い,ストラビンスキーのピアノとオーケストラのための《カプリッチョ》のような管弦楽作品もある。
