          symphonies and choirs, especially there, where a <foreign xml:lang="ita">forte</foreign> and <foreign xml:lang="ita">tutti</foreign> is placed;

          <s corresp="comments_1731.xml#p7-1-s1">I placed this rather neat aria here for different reasons: (1) so that
          one solmisizes it; (2) since ♭D, ♭G, ♭C and ♭F appear often in it,
          (3) since the last section has modulations and cadences in both,
          D-sharp minor and G-sharp minor; (4) since it demands a great master
          to accompany this aria well without figures:
          for nobody will do justice to the
          <ref target="#measure-1827916444">seventh</ref>,
          <ref target="#measure-1219466359">eighth</ref>,

          who does not see from the
          <ref target="#measure-0173914305">63rd</ref> measure and following
          how to treat them correctly; and (5) because in
          <ref target="#staff-0093433268">the second measure in the second line
            of the previous page in the singing voice</ref>
          and also in the 10th and 13th measure of the last part, for the first time on
          <ref target="#measure-2110501254">page 358 in the penultimate measure</ref> on the
          <ref target="#verse-0479962947">syllable -ne</ref> and for the second time on
          <ref target="#measure-1850066416">page 359 in the second measure</ref>
          on <ref target="#verse-0656479847">the syllable -ven</ref>,
          appears an interval that cannot be counted among the so-called common ones
          but still indicates how a skilled master might make use of it.</s> <s corresp="comments_1731.xml#p7-1-s2">It is
          a minor ninth in relation to the fundamental voice, and I do not hesitate
          to admit that it is the first which then I found in a melody in that way
          and considered useful.</s>
          <s corresp="comments_1731.xml#p7-1-s3">Likewise, the
          <ref target="#measure-1424025321">cadence of the first section</ref>
          on the <ref target="#note-0527129810">seventh</ref> scale degree is
          something strange and nothing ordinary.</s>
          <s corresp="comments_1731.xml#p7-1-s3">But I cannot really say that it delights me, especially considering
          the repetition: but everybody has his own taste.</s>
