14
Listen to the sound by clicking on the speaker and pick the best description: a.) Staccato b.) Legato
15
CORRECT! oGreat job! The example played was indeed someone playing notes staccato, or spaced. When playing staccato make sure you think about putting space between the notes, and not necessarily playing them short. Next Question
16
Try Again! oTry listening a little harder this time! Hint: The notes are being played smoothly. You can do it!!! Go Back
17
Choose the Correct Answer Sforzando piano means to: a.) play very loud b.) attack loud and then play soft c.) play soft
18
Try Again! oI know you can do this! Sforzando PIANO, so part of the definition includes piano. What could the sforzando mean?? Go Back
19
Correct! oAwesome job! Sforzando piano does mean to attack very loud and then back off to a piano dynamic. Sometimes a sforzando piano can be followed by a crescendo, which would mean you would attack loud, get quiet, and then gradually get loud again. Next
