Music character tables

Paradoxically, the composers fix not only "notes" in the musical notation, but also "encrypt" a large amount of the most diverse information that should help the performer, who can read between the lines, reveal the artistic essence of the performed work.

Of course, a large semantic load carries, for example, title, title, but there is in the musical text and other verbal and letter designationsthrough which we learn about the nature of music. These are tempo directions, these are dynamic hues or words related to mood, etc.

These special symbols are recognized by musicians as part of their studies, and as a part of them, simply by referring to a dictionary of foreign musical terms. However, as a rule, the dictionary is not at hand at any desired moment, and it is not at all clear to self-educated people in this situation.

The solution is: just start your own dictionary - some music character tables, constantly updated with new and new terms (as they are discovered). To facilitate this task, I suggest download and print (or save) ready-made tables nature of music. I made them in two options:

1) An option for self-taught and novice musicians - several tables (the main musical tempos, dynamic shades and the actual tables of Italian terms with translations from among those that are quite often found in notes for vocalists and instrumentalists).

This option can be taken here - Tables of musical terms

2) an option for learned musicians - abbreviated, tables of only Italian words, with the help of which most often convey the mood and character of the music.

You can download it here - Tables of the nature of music

In case the labels do not open on your first links, I propose an alternative link, you can download the pdf-file from the “people”: from here - Music character tables. Pdf

What do you find in these files? Ordered signs of the most necessary musician terms. In one place, the most necessary is collected: it is shown how to designate, how to read (the transcription of the Italian language in Russian letters + correct accents), and, of course, the translation.

Reference material on this topic can be found not only in dictionaries and on the Internet. Virtually any stationery store sells special diaries for the music school. As a rule, the last pages of such diaries contain a "pile of useful stuff", including tables of musical terms and tables of the nature of music.

I hope that you have everything opened and printed out as it should. If not, add as a friend to the contact, write - send. What else to add? If you liked the post, then be sure to "like" it.

For dessert, I propose to watch and listen to something cool. These are the fiery Romanian dances of B. Bartok - the Hungarian composer. In the video they are performed by the violinist and pianist, but, by the way, there is a version for solo piano. So, who will like it - go ahead (learn the power of each)! The recording was made directly from an open concert on the square in Amsterdam. Be sure to listen to the end!
