The cavatina "" is an aria for baritone or bass from the first act of the opera "The Marriage of Figaro" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (1784). The Italian title means "If you want to dance".

In later work, Giesecke translated the Italian libretti of Mozart's operas "Le nozze di Figaro" (1793) and "Così fan tutte" (1794) into German. In total he was to write libretti for more than fifteen operas by various composers between 1789 and 1800; see listing below.
