This work is from Giuliani’s lesser known 12 Contradanze (1825). No.8 is inspired by the duet “Se inclinassi a prender moglie” from Rossini’s opera L’italiana in Algeri (1813). I use the word inspired as I would call it a loose arrangement but there is a charm to it and the level is very reasonable. Here’s the YouTube Lesson Link if you want to watch it there.
