Inside there are some excerpts from classical compositions by César Franck in "La Fenice" (Prélude, Choral et Fugue, FWV 21), Georges Bizet (Overture from Carmen), Frédéric Chopin (Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53) and Giuseppe Verdi (La donna è mobile from Rigoletto) in "Conservatorio".[4] It is the last album in which there are compositions by Giuseppe Valente also known as Zuppone.
