Mauro Giuliani's 'Variations on Nel cor più non mi sento and Polonaise, Op. 65' is a guitar composition that was composed in the early 19th century. The piece was premiered in Vienna in 1819 and quickly became one of Giuliani's most popular works. The composition consists of two distinct movements. The first movement is a set of variations on the Italian aria 'Nel cor più non mi sento' by Giovanni Paisiello. Giuliani's variations showcase his virtuosic guitar technique, with fast runs, arpeggios, and intricate fingerings. The variations also demonstrate Giuliani's ability to create a wide range of moods and emotions, from playful and light-hearted to melancholic and introspective. The second movement is a polonaise, a dance form that originated in Poland. Giuliani's polonaise is a lively and energetic piece, with a strong rhythmic drive and a catchy melody. The polonaise features a number of technical challenges for the guitarist, including rapid scale passages and complex chord progressions. Overall, 'Variations on Nel cor più non mi sento and Polonaise, Op. 65' is a masterful showcase of Giuliani's talents as a composer and guitarist. The piece is notable for its technical demands, its expressive range, and its ability to capture the spirit of two distinct musical traditions.
