(referring to: www.joods.nl/~chazzanut/port/verdi.html Any other oppinions on this issue? I.O.) Dear Mr Oppenheim, A brief note on you question concerning Verdi. This is a pure melodic coincidence. As for the story of the Ladino song Adio querida (and not querido), I wrote about this on my article The Music of the Song in Ladino published regretfully in Hebrew In the journal Peamim of 2001. The melody is indeed an adaptation from La Traviata, as already pointed out many many years ago by Dr. Israel J. Katz too. The origin appears to be in Sofia, Bulgaria.
