About "Le nozze di Figaro, K. 492, Act I : Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro, K. 492, Act I: No. 3, Se vuol ballare, signor Contino" by Hermann Prey
Figaro's aria is a minuet with a dagger: the lilting dance rhythm carries a threat, a servant's polite bow sharpened into a promise of revenge. Mozart makes courtesy feel like a blade being drawn from a scabbard.
