Köchel 6, p. 460.An unfinished work, set to a libretto by Giovanni Battista Varesco."Mozart requested the libretto from Varesco in May 1783, discussed it in Salzburg during the summer, and by December had composed most of the first act. He abandoned work early in 1784 and in a letter to his father (10 February) he offered sharp criticism of detail and design. The libretto involves an amorous intrigue on the island of Ripasecca, ruled by Don Pippo (bass); the Cairo goose was to intervene as a mechanical deus ex machina."
