3.Caprice of Andante

In  

the  

format  

of  

a  

symphony,  

the  

tempo  

of  

the  

first  

movement  

is

mostly  

moderato  

or  

Allegro.  

The  

second  

movement  

usually  

keeps

the  

tempo  

of  

Largo.

And  

in  

the  

third  

movement,  

we  

may  

often  

have

the  

tempo  

of

Allegro  

or  

even  

Presto.  

Trying  

to  

pose  

a  

slight  

change

yet  

keep  

the  

quick  

pace  

in  

this  

movement,  

Mr.  

Lee  

illustrated  

an

vivid  

image  

of  

wandering  

around  

with  

the  

swift  

melody  

and  

made

this Caprice of Andante.
