Before he performed this piece, pianist Riva shared the following comments with the audience:
"Now I will play a selection of three pieces taken from "20 Caprices et études rythmiques," which is the most important work by Dalcroze in the 20th century.
Of course, you will see a completely different style [than what we heard before]: we will have part-changing, we will have different meters put together. [This is all] Eurhythmics, that you know very well. It's not music written for eurhythmics, but the influence of his work in eurhythmics is already evident.
The capriccio form is something which is very free, so as in the "Skizzen," it's very, very short music-four to five pages maximum for each [movement]-but with a precise character which is different one to the other, like an improvisation."
