Richard Strauss made reference to "L'incoronazione" in the Act III music lesson scene of his 1935 opera, "Die schweigsame Frau", completely recomposing the Act 2, Scene 5 duet "Sento un certo non so che" in his own florid and late-Romantic idiom as one of many uses of preexisting musical material to set an appreciably antique atmosphere by the standards of the time. In that scene, the duet is used as an excuse for the title role to flirt with her husband, in disguise as a singing teacher.
