Allitt erroneously lists this piece as "Si tanto sospiri, ti lagni d'amore". Not to be confused with A 178, a duet on the same text (in Donizetti per camera, A 171-182).
Inzaghi messed the two "Ti sento, sospiri" pieces (A 178 and A 387). There is In.451 "Ti sento, sospiri. Duettino pubblicato a Napoli da B. Girard nella Raccolta di ariette e duettini. F-PC (ms. 4180): ms. autografo, 4 pag. musicali, in mi maggiore" and In.574 "Ti sento, sospiri. Duetto per soprano e tenore con pf. in sol minore. F-PC (ms. 4183)". The first mistake is in the F-Pc manuscripts: the published by Girard piece is MS-4183, not MS-4180. The other mistake is that both pieces are described as duets, though MS-4180 is actually a solo song. Hence the double Inzaghi number for each of the pieces.
"Romanza" is inscribed at the top of the manuscript, though it doesn't look like the same handwriting as the actual music.
