"Here, in an alternating sequence of two expressive accompanied recitatives and two arias, Haydn carries his heroine from her first loving reverie, through the dawning realization that she is alone and deserted, to the desolation of her last F minor outburst....the power and passion of the recitatives, with their astonishing modulations, rank it with the greatest of Haydn's vocal works."
