DOMENICO CIMAROSA: ‘Aria Seria, Non sò donde viene, con Recitativo, nell’ Olimpiade’, for soprano, horns, oboes and strings (words, Pietro Metastasio); late 18th cent. Recitative, beginning ‘Giovane sventurato’, and aria, beginning ‘Non sò donde viene’. Score. Copy. Cimarosa’s dramma per musica was first performed in Vicenza in 1784, and widely thereafter. This scena was originally written for the character of Clistene, a tenor, but is here arranged for soprano. A section of twenty-eight bars which include dialogue is omitted from the recitative. The title page, f. 1, has a hand-coloured printed border, with the title in manuscript and the statement ‘In Napoli presso Luigi Marescalchi’. Marescalchi published music in Naples from 1786 to 1799, and his business was also very active as a copisteria. For other manuscript scores of Cimarosa issued by Marescalchi, see R.M.22.b.16.(5.), R.M.23.f.19.(1.) and R.M.23.f.20.(6.), and for a Bolognese copy of the whole of ‘L’Olimpiade’, see Add. 16000 (this scena is on ff. 193-210). f. 1. is inscribed ‘Madame Billington’ and numbered ‘156’ in ink.
ff. 33. 208 x 274mm.
