Capricho árabe ('Arab Caprice'), dedicated to 'the eminent maestro, D. Tomás Breton', is a tribute to the Moorish heritage of southern Spain. Its opening recalls the oud, the Arabic lute, while the steady rhythm which follows evokes the sensuous Danza mora, the traditional dance. Segovia in his autobiography observed how during his youth, Capricho árabe was 'the pièce de résistance of my repertoire and one especially suited to reach the sensitive chords of a feminine heart.'
