"When has Penderecki's music ever be funny?"
The term "capriccio" is defined as "whimsical, humorous, fanciful; a composition somewhat irregular in form."
I'm not advocating any specific interpretation, (one should come up with one's own interpretation) but I do think that the actual title of the piece should be taken into account before advocating a totally serious rendition.
