Le baruffe chiozzotte Op. 32 is a concert overture by Leone Sinigaglia written in 1907. It was introduced in Milan under Arturo Toscanini’s baton in the spring of that year. Based on the comedy Le baruffe chiozzotte by Carlo Goldoni it is a spirited work that opens with brilliant subject for full orchestra. A subsidiary theme more serene in nature provides contrast. The second main subject of the work is a folk song first heard in the oboe; it is soon taken up by the first violins.
