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 Written in 1794/95, it was inexplicably left unpublished.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.
