glossary
- animato, animé [Fr]—lively; animated
- chamber music, Kammermusik [G], musique de chambre [F], musica da camera [I], musica cameralis [L]—"Classical Music" for a small ensemble, generally 8 or fewer players with a canonical emphasis on 3-6 players. explore
- et [Fr]—and
- grave [I], gravement [F]—Solemn, serious, slow, ponderous
- lento, lent [F], lentement [F], avec lenteur [F]—slow (tempo)
- opus [L], opera[pl], Op., Opp, WoO, Op. posth—work, as in a work of art. For unique identification, publishers/composers often assign an "opus number", abbreviated as "Op." (e.g. Op. 1). A range of works by opus number, uses the plural "opp." (e.g. "Opp. 1-3"). A single opus number may refer to a collection of works (e.g. a set of quartets) giving rise to designations like "Op. 1, No. 4". For misc. works without opus numbers, "WoO" is often used (e.g."Without Opus"). Posthumously assigned numbers may use "Op. posth". Opus numbers may not precisely reflect chronology (publication vs. composition), can be erroneous, sparse or duplicative. Thus, the works of some historically important composers may use separate catalog numbers (e.g. Bach, Haydn, Schubert). See wiki
- piano quintet, quintette à clavier [F], quintette pour piano et cordes [F], Klavierquintett [G], quinteto de piano [Sp], quintetto per pianoforte [I]—ensemble (work) for string quartet plus piano featuring some of the grandest chamber music masterworks and an enduring genre. For an extra rich sound, some piano quintets omit the 2nd violin and add a bass, comprising the complete four-part string section of the orchestra (see Trout Quintet/Instrumentation).
