A Cabaletta is form of
aria within 19th century
Italian opera. It usually refers specifically to the second half of a double aria: a faster or more rhythmic
movement following a
cantabile section.The cabaletta formed as part of an evolution from early 19th century arias containing two contrasting sections at different
tempi within a single structure into more elaborate arias with musically distinct movements. The term itself was first defined in 1826. It has a repetitive structure consisting of two
stanzas followed by embellished variations. The cabaletta typically ends with a
coda, often a very virtuosic one.
