Talk:List of Italian musical terms used in English

message: molto means very.  There's a difference between molto staccato, and staccatissimo.  -issimo is a standard Italian superlative.  Superlative, means most - the top end of the scale.  
It's the same in English, you have adjective, comparitive, and superlative.  E.g. Quick, quicker, quickest.
Forte (Strong), Piu Forte (stronger), Fortissimo (strongest)
So, the literal translations leave a bit to be desired.  Whatever you do, don't use Google translate for this, it's notoriously unreliable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.211.224 (talk) 07:49, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

message: You missed a miriad of instruments.
Saxophone, named after Adolph Sax, A woodwind with a brass body, generally bright, not used in Orchestras often
Trombone
French Horn
Sousaphone
Baritone
Clarinet
Flute   (piccolo should be a subsection of flute)
Oboe
Bassoon
guitars
percussion instruments
and several more.
Orchestra should be removed here and put under a new section titled Ensembles which would include Orchestra, Concert Orchestra, concert Band, Big (jazz) Band, Solo, Duet, Trio, Quartet, Quintet, etc., choir.
::I'm not sure, but this article seems to deal with terms that were originally Italian and have moved to a more cosmopolitan musical language.  I don't have firsthand knowledge of the others, but the saxophone (from, as you said, Adolph Sax) would not apply.  --99.224.71.89 (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that some of you are ignoring an important fact about music history.  Some of you are using the fact that Italian terms were used in music because "most of the composers of the Renaissance period were Italian." Italian terms were first used in printed sheet music due to the fact that the "father of modern music printing was a man named Ottaviano Petrucci, a printer and publisher who flourished in large measure thanks to a twenty-year monopoly of printed music in Venice during the 16th century" therefore establishing a tradition of Italian terms in music.

message: Isn't there an Italian word for "Italian words in music"? I thought it was something that started with an "s" like "sprezzatura" or something. Or maybe it only refers to the words relating to dynamics? And please don't reply by telling me what "sprezzatura" means (I already looked it up) I'm just saying that I vaguely recall that it sounded something like that.

message: Under 'Techniques', we see:
Coll'arco	with the bow	Cancels col legno and pizzicato (in a string passage, arco is usually expected and is not written.)
I propose:
Coll'arco	with the bow	Cancels col legno and pizzicato (in a string passage, arco is usually expected and is not written except at the end of col legno or pizzicato passages.)

message: The article at Convenienze seems to be not much more than a dictionary definition (WP:NOTDICTIONARY), and I'm not sure if it's likely to be expanded upon. I think the info is best captured in this list article. Cripesohblimey (talk) 09:08, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
