Subj: [kl] translation and spelling (misspelling) in music dictionaries

Hey, Bill, You will doubtless get seventy-nine e-mails saying that the
spelling of the word you're looking for is "espressivo" - not unlike
"espresso" . . .?

But one that floors me is how often printed music, textbooks,
dictionaries, etc. misspell "leggero" - it is not "leggiero" and, to my
knowledge, never has been. I have checked my Italian dictionaries more
than once, wondering if my sight or mental faculties were failing, but
it seems that "leggiero" is indeed incorrect.

Back to our regularly scheduled program . . .

Anne
