  Arrangements of popular operas for music-making at home and as a tribute to the respective composer were common in the past. One of the most frequently arranged pieces comes from Giovanni Paisiello’s opera L’amor contrastato ossia La Molinara: the cavatina for two voices “Nel cor più non mi sento”—a true hit of the 18th century.

  The impressive list of composers who created variations on this relatively simple, gently melancholic, and melodious theme spans from the opera’s creation at the end of the 18th century well into the 19th century. The most famous variations were written by none other than Ludwig van Beethoven, while the most virtuosic come from Niccolò Paganini. In between are two generations of renowned composers such as Theobald Böhm, Johann Baptist Vanhal, Friedrich Kuhlau, Giovanni Bottesini, as well as lesser-known masters like Mauro Giuliani and Ferdinando Carulli. Also remarkable is the instrumental diversity, ranging from piano and guitar to flute, clarinet, violin, and double bass. In this chamber concert, you will experience the delightful sparks that composers struck from Paisiello’s original.
