glossary
- allegro [I]—fast, lively tempo. From the Italian word for cheerful or gay.
- andantino—faster than andante, slower than allegretto. Sometimes andantino is interpreted as the opposite: slower than andante
- brio [I], con brio, brioso—vigor, vigorously, with fire
- 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
- dance, danse [F], danza [I,sp], Tanz [G], Ballo [I]—dance; dancing
- dolce, dolcemente—sweet, gentle; sweetly, gently
- duo, duet, dueto [S], duetto [I], duett [G]—a work for two instruments; the ensemble itself
- e [It]—and
- energico, con energia, énergique [F], avec énergie [F], energisch [G]—with energy, force, vigor and power
- molto [It]—very much
- 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
