Comments by the composer
As its title suggests, the music is capricious in nature having themes of sharply contrasting styles, but it is not as free in form as the title sometimes implies, having many of the characteristics of Rondo, with a main theme regularly recurring and subsidiary themes being developed.
The boisterous, rhythmic nature of the opening and principal idea is offset by subsequent themes which are variously song-like, humerous, regal and playful. Nothing however is serious for very long and the music is intended to be a light-hearted and hopefully enjoyable experience for listeners and players alike.
