Sull’aria

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For trombone and piano

In B♭ major, range F2 to B♭3

In The Marriage of Figaro, the Countess dictates a letter to trick her unfaithful husband, and her maid Susanna writes it down, repeating each line, until their two voices float together in one of opera’s gentlest duets. In the film The Shawshank Redemption, Andy plays it over the prison loudspeakers.
