glossary
- adagio [It]—slow tempo, often implying a lyrical, poignant character
- alla [I], all', à la [F]—to the, in the manner of
- 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
- contrapunctus [L], contrapuncti [pl], contrapunto [I]—counterpoint; a movement in a contrapuntal style, esp. a fugue
- finale [I], final [F]—The final movement, sometimes explicitly titled thus
- ma—but, however
- molto [It]—very much
- scherzo—lively, brisk, typically in a triple meter; usually a three-part form with central, contrasting trio
- string trio—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.
- 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
- vivace—brisk, lively tempo faster than allegro
