Caprice bohémien, Op. 12 is a symphonic poem for orchestra composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1892-1894. An earlier example of Rachmaninoff's compositions, the piece consists of many moments played in full a tutti, which was the same bombastic approach that critics would lambast with his next composition, Symphony No. 1 in D minor. Caprice bohémien was better received than his first symphony, which gained respect only after the composer's death.
