Additional info/contents	This overture has been inspired by the Italian opera and belcanto and this explains why it is extremely melodious. As there is no underlying story, the composition is meant as pure easy listening music. The work stats with an Adagio, a slow cantabile introduction, followed by a light-footed Allegro Vivo. Then comes the aria, an Andante Rubato which creates a moment of rest. Then the Allegro comes back and the composition ends very joyfully with a short but energetic coda.
