The aria ' Deh vieni ' is sung by Suzanna towards the end of the opera.
In it she tells of her great love for Figaro, the one sincere sentiment expressed in a perfect tangle of intrigue.
Sir Edward German's Theme and Six Diversions, although not ostensibly on any English subject, are easily recognisable as akin to his popular dances, and several of the Variations are actual dance tunes. The Theme is introduced by a brief prelude in which the same tune is heard in a slightly altered form suggesting the Dorian mode. It is itself a very straightforward tune, and though the Diversions are worked out with great interest and variety, their kinship with the tune is never lost sight of. Throughout the fourth, and at the beginning of the sixth, the theme is heard almost in its original guise.
