This piece : Rondo a Capriccio in G major Op.129 by L van Beethoven is subtitled: The "Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio"(Italian for "Rondo in the Hungarian [i.e. gypsy] style, almost a caprice")
It is better known by the title Rage Over a Lost Penny, Vented in a Caprice (from German: Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen, ausgetobt in einer Caprice). This title appears on the autograph manuscript, but not in Beethoven's hand, and has been attributed to his friend Anton Schindler.It is a favourite with audiences and is frequently performed as a showpiece.
It is generally performed at breakneck speed on the piano, and is very pianistic in style. I have set the tempo for wind quintet at 120. I have either removed or altered the fast semi quaver runs to make it more accessible for a wind quintet piece
The horn part is written for a natural horn in G to give a more authentic feel to the piece. The quintet does NOT play tutti all the time, giving the players somewhere to breath.
