La Juive and Capriccio are both examples of what type of performance?
Capriccio (opera) Capriccio, Op. 85, is the final opera by German composer Richard Strauss, subtitled "A Conversation Piece for Music". The opera received its premiere performance at the Nationaltheater München on 28 October 1942. Clemens Krauss and Strauss wrote the German libretto. However, the genesis of the libretto came from Stefan Zweig in the 1930s, and Joseph Gregor further developed the idea several years later. Strauss then took on the libretto, but finally recruited Krauss as his collaborator on the opera. Most of the final libretto is by Krauss.
A capriccio A capriccio ] (Italian: "following one's fancy") is a tempo marking indicating a free and approach to the tempo (and possibly the style) of the piece. This marking will usually modify another, such as "lento a capriccio", often used in the Hungarian Rhapsodies of Franz Liszt. Perhaps the most famous piece to use the term is Ludwig van Beethoven's "Rondò a capriccio" (Op. 129), better known as "Rage Over a Lost Penny".
