glossary
- accompanied sonata—A unique genre of chamber music (c. 1735-1835, Newman) written primarily for keyboard (harpsichord or piano) with optional (ad libitum) or relatively basic (doubling keyboard part or independent but simple parts) "accompaniment" by such instruments as violin, flute, cello, etc. Originally intended for skilled keyboardist optionally joined by Royal, domestic or otherwise amateur players. Often designated by titles like "Sonata en trio" or "en quatuor" with "ad libitum" or inferred by time period and the nature of the parts. Distinguished from older sonatas using basso continuo, those using terms like "obbligato" or "true" chamber music from the Classical era forward.
- adagio [It]—slow tempo, often implying a lyrical, poignant character
- allegro [I]—fast, lively tempo. From the Italian word for cheerful or gay.
- 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
- 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

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.
- tanto [I], non tanto—much, as much, so much, e.g. allegro ma non tanto: fast but not too much
