No. 2 in A minor (Untitled) / a moll

In A minor. This is one of two pieces, along with No. 10, that were not given a title, but the opening indication 'A capriccio' (capriciously) likely well expresses the piece's atmosphere. Partly due to being a revision of an earlier work from his youth, it is a crisp piece characterized by a fiery temperament and frequent use of staccato.
