	thank you, as a musician I appreciate this quiz

	Seems like so much of the music section deals with popular and non-classical music. As a classical musician, it's nice to see the other side as well.

	4 years of high school choir definitely helped with this one.

	As time was running out, I started to quaver!

	I thought I was musically inclined... this quiz made me feel ritardando.

	Could use better distinction between allegretto and presto. Shouldn't use "moderately" in the definition of allegretto since that would be moderato. I think of presto as ludicrous speed (a la Spaceballs).

	Would be interesting to include unusual terms. In my college juries we always had to include musical terms. One professor's favorites were the most unusual, like assai, or non-Italian terms (I once had "nicht zu geschwind"), and the difference between "a tempo" and "tempo primo".

	The weirdest one I ever saw was from a Cirque du Soleil arrangement: "Warped, yet Childlike"

	@singin185 - Let me try... assai=very; nicht zu geschwind=not too fast; a tempo=back to the most recently established tempo; tempo primo=back to the first tempo of the section

	singin185:	Jul 29th, 2012 at 12:38 GMT		1 point
	I've always thought that a tempo referred to getting back into time altogether, perhaps after a ritard, fermata or a rubato section.

	Right, wouldn't that be the most recently established tempo, then? If you start in quarter=120, then a tempo change to quarter=100, then a rit and fermata, you would go back to quarter=100 at the a tempo.

	Great quiz Flick! :) As another of the classical musicians who keep commenting on your quiz, I found it refreshing. @singin185 what counts as unusual?

	Brilliant quiz Flick :) Although playing the flute for 7 years definitely helped :P

	I'm a rock and roll player at heart, but I enjoyed this Classically oriented quiz. I'm appreciative of the expressive linguistic approach used by the Italians to attempt to translate the emotive non-mathematical side of musical creation into plain language. Nice to be reminded of the poetic spirit of the best musicians!

	I'm ticked off that I missed one the first time (skimmed over the clue and thought it said softer when it was actually slower, and hit diminuendo rather than ritardando). But good quiz. I'll echo the sentiments of the people who are happy to see something involving music literacy in the music section, rather than the usual popular music history.

	I've played cello for 7 years, and I only got 14 of them. I'm sad now :(

	I thought "Separate" was a verb! No wonder I couldn't find "staccoto"- I was looking for something that described those quick, sharp, notes.
