Score Study: Don Giovanni Act II: No. 18 [17] Aria

Slight separation between each note of first violins, energized rhythm in rest of strings.  The characterization is in the urgency of the rhythm, the deliberate ‘confusion’ as articulated by the syncopation, and the articulate angularity of Giovanni’s line.  Voice must keep vowels fully resonant, and allow orchestra to articulate on dotted rhythms.
