New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

O sì che non sapevo sospirare
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O sì che non sapevo sospirare:
Del sospirar me son fatta maestra!
Sospir se sono a tavola a mangiare,
Sospir se sono in camera soletta,
Sospir se sono a ridere e a burlare,
Sospir se sono con quella e con questa,
Sospir prima sospirando poi:
Sospirare mi fanno gli occhi tuoi.
Sospiro prima e sospiro fra un anno
E gli occhi tuoi sospirare mi fanno.
