I found this in Bella Notte by Einaudi...'Andante Scorrevole' any ideas?
and also 'puro'
In 'I Giorni' what does 'puro e semplice', 'suadente', 'leggero', and 'sognante' mean?
I'd be grateful if anyone could shed some light as im playing with NO expression whatsoever right now!
Full Version: Confusing Musical Terms
leggero = lightly
scorrevole = gliding, flowing
semplice = simply, unaffectedly
The others are not in my musical dictionary, and I could hazard a guess, but I will try to check in an Italian dictionary - unless some Italian expert gets back first!
sognante = dreamily, longingly
puro is clean, or pure
that's all I have been able to find so far - my Italian dictionary is a tiny one.

Unless I've had a little too much Cabernet Merlot,
sognante means "play it sognantily" (or soggily to us proles).
suadente - play it as with suede gloves
