Note 334 — Chapter IV

Reading edition

For instance, Rispetti in the valley of the Po are called Romanelle. In some parts of Central Italy the Stornello becomes Mottetto or Raccommandare. The little Southern lyrics known as Arii and Ariette at Naples and in Sicily, are elsewhere called Villanelle or Napolitane and Siciliane. It is clear that in this matter of nomenclature great exactitude cannot be sought.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
