glossary
- allegro [I]—fast, lively tempo. From the Italian word for cheerful or gay.
- andante [I]—moderately slow tempo (e.g. walking). Faster than adagio but slower than allegretto
- 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
- dolce, dolcemente—sweet, gentle; sweetly, gently
- obbligato [I], obligé [F]—required, necessary, indispensable, obligatory. For instrumentation, the part is required (vs. ad libitum). When associated with Baroque continuo parts, it requires a specific instrument. When used with a keyboard part (e.g. Bach), it may imply a literal, thoroughly written out part vs. the more usual "improvised" (e.g. realized) continuo part at the discretion of the performer.
- presto—very fast, more so than allegro.
- sonata, sonate, suonato—a complicated term. Originally, "sounded" rather than "sung" (sonar vs. cantar), e.g. instrumental music. According to historical period, sonata began to imply a formal plan of movements as well as the structure within a single movement, e.g. sonata form. In general usage as a work title, it designates a multi-movement piece for solo or duo instruments with one of the instruments enjoying a feature role.
- trio sonata, sonate en trio, sonata a tre—one of the chief forms of chamber music in the Baroque era. Trio indicates three components: 2 soloists and continuo (accompaniment). Typically comprises four movements in one of many specific plans.
