Talk:Italian musical terms used in English

[edit] Musical terminology
Hmm, it looks like this may have been rendered redundant by the article musical terminology. Would anyone object if I fold in the entries here into musical terminology and make this into a redirect to that article? Opus33 19:31, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I'm actually working on that now—I'll merge this page into musical terminology sometime in the near future. --bdesham 18:25, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- OK, take note to link [[Adagio]] to [[Tempo|Adagio]].—Trevor Caira 17:57, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Am in the process of merging Musical terminology, Italian musical terms and Tempo into Glossary of music performance directions. Musical terminology should be used to encompass more general terms like counterpoint, serialism, sonata, etc. --bleh fu 04:32, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
Hmmm, this discussion has fallen by the wayside, it seems. More useful might be a grid of terms and abbreviations by columns in various languages. For example, English "W.B" (WHole Bow) on the same row as German "G.B" (Ganz Bogen). Until that happens, I don't see the value of merging the table of Italian terms, with translations, into a long list of others... There seems to be a jinx on saying "I'll do it" here, so I'll only commit to thinking about it. Stay tuned... __Just plain Bill 19:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Presto link
Why does the link to the term "Presto" take me to a page about Penis?
- Wikipedia:Vandalism. It has been corrected. Please sign your posts on talk pages per Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. Thanks! Hyacinth 11:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Musical Instuments
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.
