Salieri's lean, simple scoring might cause us to think of the immaturity of the young Venetian musician, but in this score--especially in the vocal parts--there is no lack of technically complex and well-mediated pieces. Salieri has an individual ability to filter the lively moods of traditional Italian opera buffa with his watchful critical intelligence and transform them into something drier, more analytic, and effectively "simple." The many "mannerist" solutions of the score do not, however, suffocate its strong tendency towards deliberate renewal that often brings out brilliant, sparkling atmospheres that are all the more surprising since they come from the hand of the "scholastic" Salieri.
