 Varijacija na Rossinijevu ariju Rosine iz opere 'Seviljski Brijač’  (variations on Rosina’s aria from ‘The Barber of Seville’) is a modern take on the entire cavatina [andante - moderato]. One single variation in which piccolo and trombone share the themes and create new accompaniments in often atonal harmonies to the famous aria Una voce poco fa.
