We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

GLOSSARY OF MUSICAL TERMS
The following is a brief list of the musical terms which are used in connection with the compositions available on RCA Victor Records. This glossary has been extracted from The Radio Times Music Hand¬ book, by Percy A. Scholes, D.Litt., B.Mus., published for the British Broadcasting Corporation by the Oxford University Press, London, and has been reprinted by permission.
Abendlied [Ah-bent-leed]. Evening Song.
A Cappella [Ah cap-pe/-lah]. Literally, "in the church style/' i.e., conforming to the 16th-century ideal of choralism without instru¬ mental accompaniment (or, at all events, without independent in¬ strumental accompaniment).
Accelerando [At-shel-ay-ran-doh] . Gradually accelerating.
Adagio [Ad-ahj-yo]. Slow.
Affretando [Af-fray-tan-doh], Hurrying.
Alborada [Al-bo-rah-dah] . A morning song (e.g., under one's lady's
window). Fancy title, sometimes applied to short, bright instru¬ mental compositions.
Albumblatt [A/-boom-blatt]. Literally "Album Leaf"; hence a short instrumental composition of lighter character (such as, in the days when ladies' albums were a society nuisance, kind-hearted com¬ posers might be induced to contribute).
Alla Breve [Al-lah bray-vay]. A quick kind of what looks like quadruple time, but is to be performed in duple, every two beats being, as it were, thrown into one.
Alla Tedesca [Al-lah ted-ess-cah]. In the German style.
Allargando [Al-lahr-gan-doh], Broadening down, i.e., getting slower and slower.
Allegretto [Al-lay-gret-loh], Rather lively and bright (though it has nowadays come to mean no more than "rather quick").
Allemande [Al-mahnd]. A piece in dance rhythm, in four-beat time and of moderately lively character. It found a place in the 17th and 18th-century Suites, generally as the opening movement.
