Coloratura The word Coloratura (] ) is originally from Italian, literally meaning "coloring", and derives from the Latin word "colorare" ("to color"). When used in English, the term specifically refers to elaborate melody, particularly in vocal music and especially in operatic singing of the 18th and 19th centuries, with runs, trills, wide leaps, or similar virtuoso-like material. Its instrumental equivalent is ornamentation. It is also now widely used to refer to passages of such music, operatic roles in which such music plays a prominent part, and singers of these roles. (See also bel canto.)

Inchoative verb An inchoative verb, sometimes called an "inceptive" verb, shows a process of beginning or becoming. Productive inchoative affixes exist in several languages, including the suffixes present in Latin and Ancient Greek, and consequently some Romance languages. Not all verbs with inchoative suffixes have retained their inceptive meaning. In Italian, for example, present indicative "finisco" 'I finish' contains the form of the suffix, while present indicative "finiamo" 'we finish' does not, yet the only difference in meaning is that of person subject; the suffix is now semantically inert.

Obbligato In Western classical music, obbligato (] , also spelled obligato) usually describes a musical line that is in some way indispensable in performance. Its opposite is the marking "ad libitum". It can also be used, more specifically, to indicate that a passage of music was to be played exactly as written, or only by the specified instrument, without changes or omissions. The word is borrowed from Italian (an adjective meaning "fixed"; from Latin "obligatus" p.p. of "obligare", to oblige); the spelling "obligato" is not acceptable in British English; however, it is often used as an alternative spelling in the US. The word can stand on its own, in English, as a noun, or appear as a modifier in a noun phrase (e.g. "organ obbligato").

Sonata Sonata ( ; Italian: ] , pl. "sonate"; from Latin and Italian: "sonare", "to sound"), in music, literally means a piece "played" as opposed to a cantata (Latin and Italian "cantare", "to sing"), a piece "sung". The term evolved through the history of music, designating a variety of forms until the Classical era, when it took on increasing importance, and is vague. By the early 19th century, it came to represent a principle of composing large-scale works. It was applied to most instrumental genres and regarded—alongside the fugue—as one of two fundamental methods of organizing, interpreting and analyzing concert music. Though the musical style of sonatas has changed since the Classical era, most 20th- and 21st-century sonatas still maintain the same structure.

Canto The canto (] ) is a principal form of division in a long poem. The word "canto" is derived from Italian word for "song" or singing; which is derived from the Latin "cantus", for "a song", from the infinitive verb "canere"—to sing. The use of the canto was described in the 1911 edition of the "Encyclopædia Britannica" as " a convenient division when poetry was more usually sung by the minstrel to his own accompaniment than read". There is no specific format, construction, or style for a canto and it is not limited to any one type of poetry.

Melodramma Melodramma (plural: "melodrammi") is a 17th-century Italian term for a text to be set as an opera, or the opera itself. In the 19th-century, it was used in a much narrower sense by English writers to discuss developments in the early Italian libretto, e.g., "Rigoletto" and "Un ballo in maschera". Characteristic are the influence of French bourgeois drama, female instead of male protagonists, and the practice of opening the action with a chorus.

Abbreviation (music) Abbreviations in music are of two kinds, namely, abbreviations of terms related to musical expression, and the true musical abbreviations by the help of which certain passages, chords, etc., may be notated in a shortened form, to the greater convenience of both composer and performer. Abbreviations of the first kind are like most abbreviations in language; they consist for the most part of the initial letter or first syllable of the word employed—as for instance, p or f for the dynamic markings piano and forte, "cresc." for crescendo, "Ob." for oboe, "Fag." for bassoon (Italian: "fagotto" ). This article is about abbreviations used in music notation. For abbreviations of terms related to musical expression and music in general, see glossary_of_musical_terminology.
