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
- 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
- sextet, sextour [F], sestetto [I]—six. Ensemble (or work) for six players.
- sostenuto [I], soutenu [F]—sustained, perhaps a bit slow
- vivace—brisk, lively tempo faster than allegro
- wind quintet, woodwind quintet, Quintetto per fiati [I], Quintette à vent [F], Bläserquintett [G], Quinteto de alientos [S]—ensemble or work for ensemble of five wind instruments, typically flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. A standard chamber ensemble with variety of timbre as well as a homogeneous blend. wiki
