A more obscure example of recycling: Handel used the last 4 bars of this sarabande for the ending of the sarabande in the 7th Suite in G minor, published some 15 years later in 1720.
it's not actually the sarabande that later was developed into Lascia la spina and then into now the most famous Lascia ch'io pianga. This one os from 1st Act of Almira and is in G minor. The one that became famous air is in the 3rd Act and is (as well as both arias) in major key (F).
And to think, this is the opening of the first act in the first composition Handel ever published.
Incredible talent.
This is so sublimely simple. Being "sublimely simple" is not easy.
I LOVE those Major Seventh Chords!
Thank you!
bellissimo!
