   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

cavatina

Short operatic aria, consisting of one section without repetition of text, unlike the aria's usual three-part division; for example ‘Porgi amor’ from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro/The Marriage of Figaro (1786). It can also be an instrumental piece of songlike quality, for example a movement of Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13 (1826).
