24 Brilliant Preludes Op. 37

Giuseppe Concone

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

Chord tones played together that are not part of an accompaniment pattern.

Notes whose lengths are equal to one half the value of a whole note.

A type of articulation indicating the player to play smoothly and seamlessly, with the notes slightly overlapped.

Also called the damper pedal, it is the rightmost pedal on the piano and used to sustain notes by moving the dampers away from the strings.

Playing chords while simultaneously bringing out and phrasing one of the notes as a melody.

A type of texture where a melody is supported by one or more voices with all the voices following the same or similar rhythm.

A sign placed in front of a note that raises its pitch by a half step.

Indications placed above or below notes instructing the player to hold those notes longer than their original notated length.

Hand positions that require stretching beyond a five finger scale; usually to play intervals that are 6ths or greater.

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.
