What is a caprice in music ??

Caprice : a piece of music, fairly free in form and of a lively character. The typical capriccio is one that is fast, intense and virtuoso in nature.

One example of a famous Caprice is Paganini's Caprice 24

The following is a copy of their facebook bio which I have translated in google translate

Minimumskravet til musikkonservatoriet i København er en utdannelse innen musikk. Heldigvis oppfylte ikke Martin dette kravet, da han og Fredrik kun har en bachelor som musikklærer. Dette medførte til at bandet som kun skulle være et prosjekt for å prøvespille på konservatoriet fikk en mer permanent status, og fikk navnet Specific Moments. 

Med på lasset kom også Ben og Kenny, som en stabil og trygg rytmeseksjon. Denne kombinasjonen av musikere skaper en sjangerforståelse og musikalsk retning som er unik innen bandmusikk. Specific Moments er influert av det positive og dansbare, og har som filosofi at uansett hvor mørke temaer det blir skrevet om, så skal det alltid være en "silver lining".

Translation

The minimum requirement for the music conservatory in Copenhagen is an education in music. Fortunately, Martin did not meet this requirement, as he and Fredrik only have a bachelor's degree as a music teacher. This meant that the band that was only going to be a project to test play at the conservatory got a more permanent status, and got the name Specific Moments. Ben and Kenny came along as well, as a stable and safe rhythm section. This combination of musicians creates a genre , understanding and musical direction that is unique in band music. Specific Moments is influenced by the positive and the danceable, and has as a philosophy that no matter how dark themes are written about, there should always be a "silver lining".

Atonal Piano and Strings

Atonal music is a generalizing term used to define music that seems to lack a clear tonal centre. Nearly all music in the western classical tradition is considered 'tonal': that is, its harmonic structure is primarily triadic and hierarchically organized around a prominent tonal centre

I do my best work when I cobble things together, if had tried to plan this I would not have been able to make it work. 

If you dont know the difference watch this little video.
