This played on Spotify earlier for me today, and I have been listening to it almost all day now.

Heard this story this morning on Sirius XM. That Mozart, what a joker!

According to William Mann,[8] Mozart disliked prima donna Adriana Ferrarese del Bene, da Ponte's arrogant mistress for whom the role of Fiordiligi had been created. Knowing her idiosyncratic tendency to drop her chin on low notes and throw back her head on high ones, Mozart filled her showpiece aria "Come scoglio" with constant leaps from low to high and high to low in order to make Ferrarese's head "bob like a chicken" onstage.[9]
