The Capriccio was composed in 1963. A slow introduction is followed by a lively dotted theme with woodwind and brass, which is quite typical for Poot's style, but which makes the ensemble playing extremely delicate. The melodious second theme with the woodwind, changes into an andantino with a nice and broadly developed melody played by the clarinets and euphoniums. After a brief come-back of the initial theme the composition ends with a sparkling allegro vivo that summarizes all previous themes and motifs.
