Alvars spent the winter of 1843-1844 in Naples, and his impressions
of the ambience and the typical sights and sounds of that vibrant
Mediterranean city are reflected in the series of three pieces
he composed there. The Serenade (op.83), the brilliant Grand
Study in imitation of the Mandoline (op.84) and the genuinely
amusing Souvenir of Naples – Il Papagallo (op.85)
with its witty characterisation of a pet Neapolitan parrot.
