"No, non turbarti! . . . Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro, WoO 92a" is a vocal duet composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. The piece was composed in 1803 and premiered in Vienna in the same year. The duet consists of two movements and is written for soprano and tenor voices. The first movement, "No, non turbarti!" is a recitative in which the tenor tries to calm the soprano, who is upset and anxious. The music is characterized by its dramatic and intense nature, with the tenor's voice providing a sense of urgency and the soprano's voice expressing her distress. The second movement, "Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro," is an aria in which the tenor reassures the soprano of his love and devotion. The music is more lyrical and tender than the first movement, with the tenor's voice expressing his affection and the soprano's voice responding with gratitude and relief. Overall, "No, non turbarti! . . . Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro, WoO 92a" is a beautiful and emotional duet that showcases Beethoven's skill in composing for the human voice. The piece is notable for its expressive melodies, dramatic contrasts, and powerful emotions, making it a beloved work in the vocal repertoire.
