'Basta, vincesti...Ah, non lasciarmi, K. 2 (486a, 295a)' is a vocal work composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The piece was composed in Milan in January 1770, when Mozart was just 14 years old. It was written for the castrato singer Venanzio Rauzzini, who was a member of the opera company at the Teatro Regio Ducal in Milan. The piece is a two-movement aria for soprano and orchestra. The first movement, 'Basta, vincesti', is a recitative followed by an aria. The second movement, 'Ah, non lasciarmi', is a simple aria. The piece is written in the key of F major. The first movement, 'Basta, vincesti', begins with a recitative in which the soprano expresses her despair at being abandoned by her lover. The aria that follows is a virtuosic display of vocal technique, with the soprano singing rapid runs and trills. The music is full of dramatic contrasts, with sudden shifts in dynamics and tempo. The second movement, 'Ah, non lasciarmi', is a more lyrical and introspective aria. The soprano pleads with her lover not to leave her, singing long, flowing lines that are accompanied by a simple, but expressive, orchestral accompaniment. Overall, 'Basta, vincesti...Ah, non lasciarmi, K. 2 (486a, 295a)' is a beautiful example of Mozart's early vocal writing. Despite his young age, Mozart was already a master of melody and harmony, and this piece showcases his ability to write music that is both technically demanding and emotionally expressive.
