 Gazzaniga - Don Giovanni - details
A third version substituted sung recitatives (the music probably not by Paisiello) for the spoken dialogue, and was performed at Parma during the Carnival of 1793 and at the Fiorentini in 1795.
In Nina, Paisiello cultivated a highly original idiom of clarity and innocence, remarked on by so many contemporary commentators, with which to define and explore effectively the concise and highly sentimental tale of the heroine's suffering and redemption.
The use of spoken passages in Paisiello's original version may well have also been intended to increase the realism: certainly one English critic, writing in 1800, was impressed by this experiment which left it 'in the power of the performers to render by their action the drama … more impressive'.

Paisiello's chief fame was as a composer of operas, of which he wrote some eighty.
His style, which seems to have had some influence on Mozart, who heard his Il re Teodoro in Venezia (King Teodoro in Venice) in Vienna in 1784, is concise and melodious, with the necessary sparkle in his comedies, although his heroic and tragic operas seem sometimes to be matched with music that is too light-hearted.
Paisiello composed a number of cantatas, designed for entertainment or in formal celebration of some royal occasion.

Giovanni Paisiello was born in 1740 in Roccaforzata (Taranto), Italy.
So when he was about 70 years old he wanted to fix on the paper one of the possible versions for performance, but he didn’t really change the fundamental structure of the music (You know that other composers did change the structure of Pergolesi’s Stabat – even Bach).
The musicians that today try to play the music as it has been performed for the first time, are aware that in fact we can only imagine, but never be sure how the music of the past could sound.

The king, of course, was present on opening night to see and hear Achille in Sciro, with music by the Neapolitan Domenico Sarro, who is now largely forgotten; the libretto was by Pietro Metastasio, the great court poet to the Emperor of Austria and to this day considered a giant among librettists.
Among the best known Neapolitan composers of the 18th century were Pergolesi (1710-1736), Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801) and Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816), all masters of the comic opera, light-hearted fluff which featured lots of fat old lechers rolling their eyes while they laughed and chased virgins around the stage.
