And then I've promised to compose you a serenata, with seventy-five verses. |
There will be performed a serenata called Chariottenburg Festegiante set to music by HM the King of Prussia. |
It was not a revision of the serenata which he wrote at Naples, but an entirely new work. |
He therefore begged him to write a serenata without delay, for the time was approaching when it was to be performed. |
It is possible that the serenata might be what is known as a pasticcio, or an assemblage of music by several composers. |
It is not known whether the suite was written in conjunction with the serenata, or whether it was written earlier. |
