A score of this aria with only the voice, bassoon and continuo parts

with added bassoon cadenzas is found in Padua - see cadenzas below

(Archivio Musicale della Capella Antoniana Padova D IV n.1465).

At least four composers wrote bassoon obbligati for tenor arias

in the Metastasio setting of La Passione:

Naumann and Salieri: Pietro “Se a librarsi in mezzo all’onde incomincia il fanciulletto”

Paisiello: Giovanni “Dovunque il guardo giro”

Lucchesi: Giuseppe “Torbido mar che freme”,
