A type of technically challenging and musically complex texture where one or both hands play several voices simultaneously.

Notes that are either raised or lowered by two semitones.

More than key signature used in a single piece or movement.

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

A series of blocked octaves that are played one hand at a time and where both notes move up or down in parallel motion.

Notes whose values are determined by a subdivision into three-note groupings instead of two or four.

An indication to play in an unconnected manner, as opposed to legato, but not as short as staccato. Also called "non-legato".

Leaps greater than an octave that are to be executed at a fast speed and in succession. 

A series of blocked octaves that are played one hand at a time and where additional notes of different qualities are added in between the octaves.
