glossary
- adagio [It]—slow tempo, often implying a lyrical, poignant character
- 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
- clarinet quintet, Klarinettenquintett [G], quintette pour clarinette [F], Quintetto per clarinetto [I], Quinteto para Clarinete [S]—Most often refers to the chamber ensemble (and work) for string quartet and clarinet, a long cultivated genre of chamber music from Mozart to the present era, including many chamber music masterworks. Explore the Clarinet Quintet | wiki
- intermezzo, intermedio [S], intermède [F], interlude, Entr'acte—music that is "inserted" (or "interpolated) between two musical entities of greater importance (e.g. movements, acts, verses, etc.). Often suggests music of a lighter character, entertaining contrast or even improvisation.
- largo—slow, solemn, sustained.slower than lento. faster than grave
- 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
- presto—very fast, more so than allegro.
- quintet, quintette [F], quintett [G], quintetto [I]—an ensemble / work for 5 players, the typical examples being string quintet (with second viola or cello), piano quintet or woodwind quintet
