"Nel cor più non mi sento" is a duet from Giovanni Paisiello's 1788 opera L'amor contrastato, ossia La molinara, usually known as La molinara [it] (The Miller-Woman).
[2] The duet is notable as its theme has been used many times as a basis for other musical works, and due to its inclusion in Alessandro Parisotti's 1885 collection Arie Antiche, the song has secured a place in classical vocal pedagogy.
The duet is repeated entirely as before, but this time with Pistofolo (who sings an entirely new set of words) rather than Calloandro.
Without ornamentation, the range for each singer covers the interval of a minor seventh (from F#4 to E5 for Rachelina and F#3 to E4 for Calloandro and Pistofolo).
Other composers that have used the theme include Paganini ("Introduction and variations in G major" for violin, Op.
There is also a version by Theobald Boehm (Böhm), Nel cor più non mi sento, op.
Rachelina: Nel cor più non mi sento brillar la gioventù.
Cagion del mio tormento, Amor, ci hai colpa tu.
Cagion del mio tormento, anima mia sei tu.
Il Notaro (Pistofolo): Bandiera d'ogni vento, conosco chi sei tu Da uno sino a cento, burli la gioventù.
He also changed the key to F major and added ornaments without preserving the original melody.
