This is an instrumental accompaniment for the aria "Vado a morir" from the pioneering Italian opera performed in the Russian Empire, "La forza dell'amore e dell'odio" by Francesco Araja, a composer from Naples. It's rendered in B minor, mirroring Cecilia Bartoli's rendition in her 2014 album, "St. Petersburg". The ensemble consists of two violins, a viola, and a continuo.
