  • online resource for Italian musical terms?

    Anyone know of one please? The VSL pages are really good but not comprehensive in musical expression listing, I believe.
    Thanks

  • Hi Nigel,

    we'll do an extensive list of articulations for Instruments Online, containing the Italian terms and their explanation as well as the appropriate notation symbols.
    This articulation list is one of our most important points following the instruments themselves. Yeah, it's not easy to set the priorities (a problem we have in common with our sample production team), coz all things seem to be of the same importance [:D]

  • I'm posting this a year and a half late, but there's a free online resource that can help with just about any musical term you can think of, and it's reverse searchable too (so you can enter the English, and it will suggest terms that match - very useful for monolingual composers!)

    Go to www.practicespot.com - inside the "Free Tools and Resources" is the "PracticeSpot Dictionary of Terms".

    Should contain everything you need when the time comes to notate your VSL created masterpiece.

  • Hi Philip, thanks for the Link; nice site!!

    It's never too late to make a useful post.... [:)]

    And now I now what "show all my posts" and cookie-ing on the VSL forum is useful for!!
