- andante [I]—moderately slow tempo (e.g. walking). Faster than adagio but slower than allegretto
- ausdruck, mit ausdruck, ausdrucksvoll—expression, with expression
- bewegt [G], mit Bewegung—with motion, animated
- 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
- delicatezza [I], con delicatezza—delicate, fine, light, careful
- espressivo [It], con espressione, expressif [Fr]—expressive, with expression.with feeling
- fantasia, fantasy, fantazy, fantazia, phantasy, phantasie, fancy, fantasie [G], fantaisie [F] —generally, a piece of music favoring a free flight of expression over strict adherence to formal rules; suggesting an improvisational character. However, there are at least two more specific historical meanings: 1) the fantasia/fantasie/fancy of English Renaissance viol consort music and 2) Cobbett's Phantasie, an early 20th century form of single-movement chamber music inspired by the Renaissance fancy with the goal of stimulating new English chamber or "consort" music.
- leicht [G]—light, nimble, facile, agile; easy, not difficult
- Ländler [G]—A German / Austrian / Swiss folk dance in 3/4 time (like a slow waltz) from the late 1700's. Popular in the 19th century before the waltz.
- mässig [G], mäßig. maessig—moderate, moderately
- 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

- sostenuto [I], soutenu [F]—sustained, perhaps a bit slow
- stück [G], stücke (plural)—piece, composition
- tempo, tempi [pl]—speed or pace at which music progresses. Traditional classic music typically uses standard Italian words to designate the tempo, e.g. Allegro or adagio. Metronome markings provide precise numerical speeds. Tempo selection during performance is a complex artistic choice informed by composer's markings, performance tradition, technical limitations and interpretation.
