Arrieta's music is notable for gentle, mellifluous charm ratherthan dramatic thrust. It is thoroughly Donizettian in style, and although hedoes not share the Italian's structural command he was equally capable ofwriting good tunes. The Preludio to Act 3 is rather more than that, adelicate nocturne featuring a brooding solo for french horn. The originalzarzuela version featured a Spanish serenata for Pascual in the originalAct 2, but Arrieta did away with this in the revision and apart from Roque'snew seguidillas and the sleepy tango which follows there islittle Spanish flavour to distinguish Marina from many another Italianpiece of the period. Roque apart, the major characters converse musically atleast in the purest Italian!
