The Intermezzo from Mascagnis opera Cavalleria rusticana has become well-known as a stand-alone piece and popular for instrumental recitals. The melody was adapted by Piero Mazzoni to fit the text of Ave Maria and it has become equally well-known as a vocal piece. The opera was written in 1888 and the work is now considered a classic verismo opera. This type of opera is not about gods, mythological figures or royalty, but instead focusses on ordinary people and their everyday problems, often with romance or violence added to enliven the plot. The opera was first performed on 17th May 1890 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. This is a straightforward arrangement for cello and piano and set in G major rather than the original F major. The cello part is written in the bass clef throughout and much use is made of top G (above the bass clef). The final note of the piece is a top B above the G.
