     kadence, S: kadens, FI: kadenssi, lopuke.

     An extended, improvisatory style section inserted near the end of
     movement.  The purpose of a cadenza is to give the singer or
     player a chance to exhibit her technichal skill and not the least
     her ability to improvise.  Since the middle of the 19th century,
     however, most cadences have been written down by the composer.

`chord'
     ES: acorde, I: accordo, F: accord, D: Akkord, NL: akkoord, DK:
     akkord, S: ackord, FI: sointu.

     Three or more tones sounding simultaneously.  In traditional
     European music the base chord is a _triad_ consisting of 2 thirds.
     _Major_ (major + minor -> third) as well as _minor_ (minor +
     major third) chords may be extended with more thirds.  Four-tone
     _seventh chords_ and five-tone _ninth_ major chords are most often
     used as dominants (-> functional harmony).  A special case is
     chords having no third above the lower notes to define their
     quality as major or minor.  Such chords are denoted open chords



`chromatic scale'
     ES: escala croma'tica, I: scala cromatica, F: gamme chromatique,
     D: chromatische Tonleiter, NL: chromatische toonladder, DK:
     kromatisk skala, S: kromatisk skala, FI: kromaattinen asteikko.

     nuottiavain.

     -> C clef, -> F clef, -> G clef.

`cluster'
     A _cluster_ is a range of simultaneously sounding pitches that may
     change over time.  The set of available pitches to apply usually
     depends on the acoustic source.  Thus, in piano music, a cluster
     typically consists of a continuous range of the semitones as
     provided by the piano's fixed set of a chromatic scale.  In choral
     music, each singer of the choir typically may sing an arbitrary
     pitch within the cluster's range that is not bound to any
     diatonic, chromatic or other scale.  In electronic music, a
     cluster (theoretically) may even cover a continuous range of
     pitches, thus resulting in colored noise, such as pink noise.

     Clusters can be denoted in the context of ordinary staff notation
     by engraving simple geometrical shapes that replace ordinary
     notation of notes.  Ordinary notes as musical events specify
     starting time and duration of pitches; however, the duration of a
     note is expressed by the shape of the note head rather than by the
     horizontal graphical extent of the note symbol.  In contrast, the
     shape of a cluster geometrically describes the development of a
     range of pitches (vertical extent) over time (horizontal extent).
     Still, the geometrical shape of a cluster covers the area in which
     any single pitch contained in the cluster would be notated as an
     ordinary note.

         \apply #notes-to-clusters {  <c e > <b f'> <b g'> <c g> <f e>  }


`comma'
     I: comma, F: comma, D: Komma, NL: komma, DK: komma, S: komma, FI:
     komma, korvinkuultava ero a"a"nenkorkeudessa.

     the same note derived from some other tuning method.

     NL: contrapunt, DK: kontrapunkt, S: kontrapunkt, FI: kontrapunkti,
     a"a"ni a"a"nta" vastaan.

     From latin _punctus contra punctum_, note against note.  The
     combination into a single musical fabric of lines or parts which
     have distinct melodic significance.  A frequently used polyphonic
     technique is imitation, in its strictest form found in the canon
     needing only one part to be written down while the other parts are
     performed with a given displacement.  Imitation is also the
     contrapunctal technique used in the _fugue_ which, since the music
     of the baroque era, has been one of the most popular polyphonic
     composition methods.



`counter tenor'
     ES: contratenor, I: controtenore, F: contre-tenor, D: Countertenor,
     NL: contratenor, DK: kontratenor, S: kontratenor, counter tenor,
     FI: kontratenori.

     -> contralto.

`Copying, Music Music'
     A music copyist did fast freehand scores and parts on preprinted
     staff lines for performance.  Some of their conventions (e.g., the
     placement of note heads on stems) varied slightly from those of
     engravers.  Some of their working methods were superior and could
     well be adopted by music typesetters.  This required more skill
     than engraving.

`crescendo'
     ES: crescendo, I: crescendo, F: crescendo, D: Crescendo, lauter
     werden, NL: crescendo, DK: crescendo, S: crescendo, FI: cresendo,
     voimistuen.

     d'in instrument, re'plique, D: Stichnoten, NL: stichnoten, DK:
     stiknoder, S: inprickningar, FI: vihjenuotit.

     In a separate part notes belonging to another part with the
     purpose of hinting when to start playing.  Usually printed in a
     smaller type.

`custos'
     A custos is a staff symbol that appears at the end of a staff line
     with monophonic musical contents (i.e. with a single voice).  It
     anticipates the pitch of the first note of the following line and
     thus helps the player or singer to manage line breaks during
     performance, thus enhancing readability of a score.

     Custodes were frequently used in music notation until the 16th
     century.  There were different appearences for different notation
     styles.  Nowadays, they have survived only in special forms of
     musical notation such as via the editio vaticana dating back to
     the beginning of the 20th century

     music but also to some extent in newer jazz music.













     From the beginning of the 17th century the scales used in European
     compositional music are primarily the major and the minor scales.
     In the harmonic minor scale type an augmented second (A) occurs
     between the 6th and 7th tone.

     FI: nuotti.

     Notes are signs by means of which music is fixed in writing.  The
     term is also used for the sound indicated by a note, and even for
     the key of the piano which produces the sound.  However, a clear
     distinction between the terms tone and -> note is strongly
     recommended.  Briefly, one sees a note, and hears a tone.

`note head'
     ES: oval, I: testa, testina, capocchia, F: te^te de la note, D:
     Notenkopf, NL: nootballetje, DK: nodehovede, S: nothuvud, FI:

     -> staff provided with a -> clef, and duration by a variety of
     shapes such as hollow or black heads with or without -> stems,
     -> flags, etc.  For percussion instruments (often having no
     defined pitch) the note head may indicate the instrument.

`note value'
     ES: valor, I: valore, durata, F: dure'e, valeur (d'une note), D:
     Notenwert, NL: nootwaarde, DK nodevaerdi, S: notva"rde, FI: nuotin
     aika-arvo.

     Note values (durations) are measured as fractions, normally 1/2,
     of the next higher note value.  The longest duration normally used
     is called _brevis_, but sometimes (mostly in pre baroque music)
     the double length note value _longa_ is used.





     An augmentation dot after a note multiplies the duration by one
     and a half.  Another dot adds yet a fourth of the duration.



     Alternatively note values may be subdivided by other ratios.  Most
     common is subdivision by 3 (_triplets_) and 5 (_quintuplets_).
     Subdivisions by 2 (_tuplets_) or 4 (_quadruplets_) of dotted notes
     are also frequently used.

     from the middle of the 19th century and onwards the trill is
     performed with the main note first while in the music from the
     preceding baroque and classic periods the upper note is played
     first.
