glossary

  • adagio [It]—slow tempo, often implying a lyrical, poignant character
  • allegro [I]—fast, lively tempo. From the Italian word for cheerful or gay.
  • assai—very much. Intensifies the direction of its neighboring words, e.g. "allegro assai", very fast
  • 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
  • con [I,S]—with
  • energico, con energia, énergique [F], avec énergie [F], energisch [G]—with energy, force, vigor and power
  • finale [I], final [F]—The final movement, sometimes explicitly titled thus
  • fuoco, con fuoco, avec feu [Fr], mit Feuer [G], feurig [G]—fire, fiery; passionately, burning energy and excitement; impetuously
  • gran [I], grandioso—great, grand
  • molto [It]—very much
  • 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
  • quintet, quintette [F], quintett [G], quintetto [I]—an ensemble / work for 5 players, the typical examples being string quintet (with second viola or cello), piano quintet or woodwind quintet
  • scherzo—lively, brisk, typically in a triple meter; usually a three-part form with central, contrasting trio
  • Trout Quintet, Trout Instrumentation, Piano Quintet 'Trout'—A common term for the ensemble comprising violin, viola, cello, double bass and piano, named for one of the earliest and the most famous example: Schubert's quintet nicknamed "The Trout". The term is used to distinguish it from the more standard "piano quintet" comprising string quartet and piano. For an example predating Schubert, see Hummel. explore
  • vivace—brisk, lively tempo faster than allegro
