Alla Ingharese quasi un Capriccio G major op. 129 (The Rage over the Lost Penny)

The famous Rondo a Capriccio is an example of the lighter side of the composer, who is usually labeled as a weighty and earnest master. Written in 1794/95, it was inexplicably left unpublished . This firework of dazzling ideas presents the cheeky theme in ever new variations and ends after two Intermezzi in g minor and E flat major with an exuberant finale.
