ƒJƒ?ƒ‹?` ‡@Carol or ‡ACarole

ƒJƒvƒŠƒ`ƒI?` Capriccio = (kah-PREE-choe) [It.] A fanciful and irregular species of composition somewhat like a fantasia. Often capriccios are composed for the piano.
ƒtƒ@ƒ“ƒ^ƒWƒA?` Fantasia = (fan-tah-ZEE-ah) [It.] An instrumental composition in which a composer yields to his imagination in regard to form and organization of the composition. A fantasia follows no particular pattern or form, and is generally of fairly large dimensions. In the Baroque era it often served as an introductory composition to a fugue.

Well, enjoy as the Kanji translations will be next and I will just be appending them here to this post. ^^ Untill next time.
