Fascinating Fact:

sostenuto means sustained throughout. Keep even pressure and legato. Tenuto is a single-note marking to hold or slightly stress one note.

In Specialist Music Theory at Grade 5, you meet performance directions that guide expression and articulation. You will read and interpret terms accurately so your playing matches the composer's intentions.

Key Terms

  • Sostenuto: Play in a sustained manner, keeping the sound connected and supported across the phrase.
  • Tenuto: Hold a note for its full value and give it slight emphasis or weight.
  • Marcato: Marked and emphatic articulation that stands out clearly from surrounding notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between sostenuto and tenuto?

Sostenuto describes a sustained style across a passage, keeping phrases connected. Tenuto is placed on a single note to hold it fully and give a gentle emphasis.

How can I remember Italian musical terms for Grade 5?

Make flashcards with term, definition, and a bar of music. Say the term aloud while clapping the rhythm, then play a short example using that articulation.

What does sempre mean in music notation?

Sempre means always. It keeps a marking in effect, such as sempre staccato or sempre piano, until another direction changes it.
