This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is on the common subject of a lover's jealousy. Clori falls in love with Fileno at first sight, but he proves unfaithful to her and a lovers' quarrel ensues. The music, by turns wistful and assertive, follows Clori's see sawing emotions, ending with a show of defiance. Albinoni's finely chiseled, undulating vocal line demonstrates his great gifts as a melodist.
