In consideration of the text, it may be advisable to not us an appoggiatura on the downbeat of the third measure on the word “matto!” A chord, however, could quickly follow in the continuo to punctuate it. Harpsichord embellishment could also frame Leporello’s line in mm. 7 and 8 by providing some sort of asceding figuration after Giovanni’s “va tutto bene”, then descending on the last syllable of Leporello’s “va tutto male!”
Leporello: do not let the rhythm become too regular in mm. 21-23. Keep the idea moving, eliminating some rests such as (as a possibility) the one between “canta” and “altri scherza”.
