Lol he added an extra G flat in the end

It's an awkward piece to try to end in an excerpt for a standalone recording. Sometimes they'd close it vocally, sometimes orchestrally, but dammit you're gonna get a resolved cadence!

@ Yeah, like in Ruffo’s recording for example the orchestra just played a F major chord after the second “Si t’avrò” (Ruffo transposed the second half of this aria down).
