An alternative English plural of capriccio, used in some musical contexts alongside the Italian plural capricci.
English adaptation of Italian 'capriccio' with the regular English plural '-os' suffix. This variant reflects how English speakers anglicized Italian musical terms while sometimes keeping the Italian plural form.
Musicians can't decide whether to say 'capricci' (Italian) or 'capriccios' (English)—it's the same confusion we have with 'pianos' versus 'pianofortes,' showing how languages collide in music.
