Description:
The dedicatee of this Ariettina; Zinaida Aleksandrovna Volkonskaya (1792-1862); was a famous Russian princess who was known as a writer; poet; composer and singer with a renowned mezzo-soprano voice. In October 11; 1825; the Princess Volkonskaya gave a private party in her house in Moscow on the occasion of her birthday. This was a gala event that included several orchestral and theatrical presentations by many artists. We know that Sor appeared in that event as a singer; singing a duet with a certain Mlle. Akulova. The poem O dolce amor di Zefiro; written by Italian poet Angela Veronese Mantovani (1778-1847); makes up the text of this work. This edition is based on an autograph manuscript. For an advanced vocalist and players.
