Autograph musical manuscript fragment of a unidentified vocal work in full score ca. 1780. Unsigned.
Oblong folio (217 x 280 mm). 9 measures, most likely from the conclusion of an aria from one of the composer's operas, notated on both sides of the leaf in black ink on 10-stave rastrum-ruled paper.
With text "[?][l'a]ruta si si nome daje l'aruta pett' e sarra fenuta pette sarrà fenuta pieta pette non n'è pieta pette non nei pieta pette non c'e pieta pette non c'è."
Scored for winds, strings and unfigured bass. One notational correction.
Minor stain to upper margin, not affecting music. In very good condition.
Cimarosa "was a central figure in opera, particularly comic opera, of the late 18th century." Jennifer E. Johnson, revised by Gordana Lazarevich in Grove Music Online
