Half notes whose lengths are increased by half; equal to three quarter notes.

A type of texture where the left hand plays the melody and the right hand plays the accompaniment for an extended period of time.

Two notes played in succession, usually in one hand but sometimes in both, whose distance is the interval of a 2nd of any quality.

A simple melody line shared by both the right hand and the left hand.

The same note that occurs several times in a row throughout a piece.

Two notes connected together smoothly where the second note is played softer and lighter.
