 Glossary of musical terms on the Web?
Author: C. Hogue

Does anyone know of a good glossary of musical terms on the Web? When I was looking up "subito piano," I ran across some joke pages and some overly simplistic glossaires.

P.S. My lesson for the day: subito = suddenly.

C H - If Grove's Dictionary ----- is available online [free], it should have a lot of info. I have a couple of "terms books" and would look ip a few for you. Mark could also! Don

Try going to the "Research/Study" section on Sneezy (use that pull-down menu on the upper right) and scroll down the page just a bit. Voila! Links to a glossary of terms (the second link is presently dead, but hopefully will start up again).

Groves is available on line at www.grovemusic.com This is on a subscription basis of $295/ yr/ single user. That's a "subito" kick in the old credit card. Its old fashioned, but Groves is found in the reference rooms of better libraries. (Actually, I'm not sure I've ever been in a library that didn't have it.) The Harvard Dictionary is much smaller and cheaper, but quite good and is practical for individual ownership.

Mark -- thanks for the direction. I looked around at Sneezy first, but missed the links you mentioned.

I find it interesting that the one live link does not list "subito." Ah well.

• try http://www.hnh.com/mgloss.htm ... (this might even be the link mentioned above - i don't seem to have the pull-down menu thing happening) ... this one doesn't list "subito".

• i've got a pocket Italian-Engish dictionary (which cost $2.50 in about 1978!) - very handy for those times when the tempo/style indication is a veritable short story in Italian 8^)

Of course you do! See that list on the upper right that says "Sponsors" Go! ? Try looking at the list of things that comes up when you click on the list. Select one and click "Go!"

aaah! <i>(subito)</i> - THAT'S what that is - never really looked at that side of the page (and with the images loaded as well...extra pedalling!)

...and...there's the link!!
