Re: "only" forte?

Musical dynamics can be kinda tricky, because the concept is inherently fluid and multifaceted (register, textures, motion, harmony, doubling, spacing, and of course - style). Not really sure what kind of music it is, but more info would definitely help us. If it is only "notational term",...

In the items below, no distinction is made between words and their abbreviations, e.g., between f and forte. Earliest use of any dynamic marking: Vinc...

Re: Ornaments in different languages

I'm actually in Serbia now, and Serbian per se would not be a problem now that I'm getting more comfortable with it. Interesting! I believe a modern "Apple Book style" edition doesn't exist, right? I don't think it is possible to find in that format. Even I couldn't find a PDF version of ...
