Mascagni's 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement. Though it has been stated and restated ad nauseam that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is highly inaccurate: L'Amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres; in fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender).

Mascagni wrote a total of fifteen operas, plus an operetta, several beautiful orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed amazing success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor. If he never repeated the public success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in Mascagni's operas -- the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the Asian flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates L'Amico Fritz, the French hues in Isabeau, the steely, Verismo quality of Il Piccolo Marat -- demonstrate a versatility that none of the other Veristi could boast, Puccini included.

THANK YOU, ROMI for posting....I had this played at the funeral home for my beloved husband, who passed away last October 8 2021 from acute hypoxic lung failure due to covid. He was a war hero. An honorable, yet humble, man. A recipient of a silver star, 2 bronze stars, 2 purple hearts during the Vietnam war. A member of the elite 5th Group Special Forces Airborne (green berets) who later came home, went to college and then on to medical school. My husband, Michael, was still practicing as an ER doctor and teaching resident doctors in southwest Florida, when he very tragically died. He had selflessly given his whole life, in service to his country and to others. My heart is truly broken. I shall love you always...Rest in Peace my precious, beautiful darling man, until we are together again.

Mascagni wrote many other pieces of music, but while other famous composers were noted for writing several well known pieces each, this intermezzo became Mascagni's only 'known' work. And everything else he wrote sank into relative obscurity. But if you're only going to be known for one piece of music, this surely has to be it.

I'd like this played at the end of the first half of Bagi, The Return of the Monster with Ryo crying over everything which he thinks is his fault. How he fears that even after giving Bagi the shot to cure her feral state, he thinks he still killed her. He doesn't notice that the vaccine worked and saved Bagi. And with Skunk (Astro Boy) about to drop an unpinned grenade, Ryo wants to take responsibility for everything and wants to bid a tear-stained farewell to Bagi The sad last words of the first half:

Ryo:"It no longer matters... I've abandoned everything and everyone... I cut school. I couldn't save them, Bagi, or my mother... I don't wanna add another page to my dark history any longer... I don't think it's a dud... I'll never hear Bagi's voice again, but the least I can do for her is take responsibility... (doesn't realize Bagi's ears are twitching, as is her tail) sniff tears Bagi, my mother and I deserve an "I told you so" for everything. Wherever you are, whatever better place you've gone to with your friends from that lab... I'll never make it there... sob sob This is goodbye for good when that grenade hits the ground. (first words for Bagi by proxy) We, sob as I would want you and not me to say, will always be friends. (camera shows Bagi's POV racing to save Ryo before the grenade goes off) We will always be (with seconds before Skunk's unpinned grenade leaves his fingertips, Ryo doesn't realize he's being scooped up to be carried away from the blast) TOGETHER!"

In the same way that an artwork is always, in some way, a reflection of the artist, so too our individual reactions to it are also a reflection of ourselves. Even if this piece doesn't resonate with you in the way it does for some, and I could never really know what it would mean for you, I hope you find or have found art which moves you in the way this music moves me. Everyone deserves that experience.

@@charlesmcg Sure theres plenty of music I like across classical, rock and electronic genres.

You gave your definition of art, but that's not the only one. Another take on it, would be a piece of work that provokes reactions or emotions.

It provoked a reaction in me that it was pretentious shite. I don't like the way the music continually sweeps up in pitch in a cheap attempt to stir emotion like a sound track to an old film. Rather than gushing about the music, I have analysed it and made a relevant comment. So it has provoked a reaction in me, albeit not a positive one. If everyone had the same reaction, what a boring world it would be!

My mom always wanted us to be cultured and know music, plays, opera, paintings, sculptures etc. I had forgotten all about this work until I was rewatching the anime series Rurouni Kenshin and got to episode 31. They were using this song in the most touching scene and I started to cry. This music welled my soul as a child and to hear it and recognize it and to remember those youthful feelings… well it was indescribable. I’m so glad someone posted this to YouTube. And I’m so thankful that my mother understood the importance of keeping these masterpieces alive within our hearts.

Maybe it's just from seeing it in the Godfather, but this piece always evokes a feeling of seeing something from a fuller perspective. Something that wasn't always clear while it was going on, that was full of heartbreak, mistakes, and also its pleasures. What wasn't so obvious until now was its incredible beauty, and the piece evokes regret or joy to the extent that we were able to appreciate that while it was going on.
