No sorry, but "con brio" does not mean "with strength"
It means "with vivacity". In order to play with
vivacity you need "energy" not "strength".
You may play con brio, but also drive a car "con brio".
A person may be "briosa" if it is full of vivacity and is playful.
In order to play "con brio" you have to play with
vivacity, accents, variety of tones.
I think so, but I know very well what "con brio"
means, as it is written in my language, but I am
not so sure to have used the right words to explain it in your language.
Bye,
Maurizio
