Score Study: Don Giovanni Act II: Scene V Recitative/Scene VI Recitative

Scene V

 

M. 6: Masetto:  Do not articulate both “no’s” in the same tempo. Slight emphasis on “vo” in “vo’ farlo in cento brani.”  

Slight break between “Villano!” and “Mascalzon!”

 

Scene VI

 

Masetto: Guard against predictability of rhythm in opening two measure.  I suggest connecting after “la testa mia” and “ahi, ahi!”  Also connect “le spalle” to “e il petto.”
