Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)
Autograph manuscript signed ('G. Rossini'), 'Mi lagnerò tacendo', Paris, 29 June 1831

'I shall lament in silence'. Rossini composed almost fifty different versions of this text by Metastasio over the last decades of his life, often as here for album leaves: the choice of text has been thought to reflect his self-imposed silence after he withdrew from operatic composing in 1830.
