glossary
- adagio [It]—slow tempo, often implying a lyrical, poignant character
- allegretto—moderately quick tempo. slower than allegro but faster than andante
- 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
- 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
- molto [It]—very much
- mosso—moved, with motion, stirred, agitated
- scherzo—lively, brisk, typically in a triple meter; usually a three-part form with central, contrasting trio
- sostenuto [I], soutenu [F]—sustained, perhaps a bit slow
- string trio, Streichtrio [G], Trio d'archi [I], Trio de cordes [F], Trío de cuerdas [S] —a work for three stringed instruments, most commonly violin, viola and cello. A more rarefied form than the string quartet perhaps because the texture is sparse (each instrument highly exposed) and the means more difficult for natural harmonic richness. But these become challenges and assets in the great trios. Trios almost always emphasize countrapuntal writing with each of the three players in strong relief.
- trio (1)—an ensemble or work for 3 players
- troppo [I], non troppo, trop [F]—too, too much. non troppo means "not too much". e.g. "Allegro ma non troppo" means fast, but not too much
