The quartet La Fucina di Vulcano refers to the myth of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, troubled by his jealousy.
Gli Amanti Rivali (The Rival Lovers), narrates the story of two lovers fighting for the attention of their beloved. In the Opera in Musica quartet, Monza applies several clichés of the italian operatic repertoire to the instrumental genre.
