Question

Alfred Einstein posited that two recitatives in this opera were forgeries by Guardasoni. A motif in this opera consists of an ascending and descending D melodic minor scale sequenced upwards. The opening chords of the overture to this opera are reharmonized into diminished seventh chords for the opening of its final scene. An aria in this opera interpolates dotted arpeggiated figures in D major between repetitions of the phrase (*) “mille e tre” (“meel eh treh”). Robert Schumann’s compliment “hats off, gentlemen, a genius” referred to Chopin’s (10[1])variations on this opera’s aria (-5[1])“Là ci darem (10[1])la mano.” A dining scene in this opera quotes the earlier aria Non più andrai from its composer’s The Marriage of Figaro. For 10 points, a statue of the Commendatore comes to dinner in what Mozart opera that ends with the title libertine being dragged to hell? ■END■ (0[1])
