This composer wrote a patter-duet for Dandini and Ramiro in which the latter repeats piano ["PYA-no"], piano. One of this composer's signature devices was to build up drama by repeating a phrase, usually louder and higher each time, in his namesake "crescendo." This composer of La (*) Cenerentola got so sick of bel canto divas over-embellishing his arias that he painstakingly wrote out versions in his own ornaments, such as for the aria Una voce poco fa ["OO-na VOH-chay POKE-oh FAH"].
