Mosaic, Volume 2

Christine Artemis Pappa

A type of accompaniment pattern that uses a persistent 8th note rhythm with broken chords, in varying note configurations.

Notes whose lengths are equal to one-eighth the value of a whole note or half the value of a quarter note.

Sharps, flats and naturals that do not appear in a key signature.

Chord tones played one note at a time that are not part of an accompaniment pattern.

A time signature where the fundamental beat is subdivided in groupings of three instead of two.

Indications instructing the player to play gradually louder (crescendo) or softer (diminuendo).

The physical motion of crossing fingers 2, 3, 4, or 5 over the thumb; used when playing scalar passages or outside of five finger scales.

Chords comprised of the root, major 3rd, perfect 5th, and minor 7th. Sometimes they are found in close position with only three notes.

Quarter notes whose lengths are increased by half; equal to three 8th notes.

Chords with an alternate ordering of their tones where the root is placed on the top and the 3rd and 5th below.

An indication instructing the player to play moderately soft; between mezzo forte and piano.

A technique that requires the player to pick up and move their hand to a new position; usually from a five finger scale to another.

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

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