The final opera by Richard Strauss (9)

I believe the answer is:

capriccio

(Other definitions for capriccio that I've seen before include "Kind of free composition" , "Strauss opera" , "A lively piece of music" , "Music written free of convention" , "Free instrumental composition, played with improvisation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
