'Ma che vi fece...Sperai vicino il lido, K. 368' is a vocal work composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1781. The piece is a concert aria for soprano and orchestra, and it was premiered in Vienna on March 23, 1781, with the famous soprano Nancy Storace as the soloist. The aria is divided into two movements, with the first one being a recitative and the second one an aria. The text of the piece is in Italian and it tells the story of a woman who is waiting for her lover on the beach, hoping that he will come back to her. The music is full of emotion and drama, with the soprano expressing the character's feelings of love, longing, and despair. The first movement, the recitative, is marked by a slow and melancholic tempo, with the orchestra providing a somber and mournful accompaniment to the soprano's voice. The music is full of chromaticism and dissonance, reflecting the character's inner turmoil and sadness. The second movement, the aria, is more upbeat and lively, with a faster tempo and a more cheerful melody. The soprano sings of her hope that her lover will return to her, and the music is full of joy and optimism. The orchestra provides a lively and energetic accompaniment, with the strings and winds playing fast and intricate passages. Overall, 'Ma che vi fece...Sperai vicino il lido, K. 368' is a beautiful and emotional piece of music, showcasing Mozart's mastery of vocal writing and orchestration. The piece is a testament to Mozart's ability to convey complex emotions through music, and it remains a beloved work in the classical repertoire to this day.
