In this episode of The Classical Guitar Corner we are going to have a bit of fun. Simon was in Italy last week with Evita for Nicoletta Todesco’s wedding. So we thought it would be a great time to get a few native Italian speakers together to pronounce for you some of popular Italian musical names and terms. If you would like to hear our native Italians pronouncing individual names and words, we’ve got those collected for you below:

 

Mauro Giuliani:

 

Angelo Gilardino:

 

Ferdinando Carulli:

 

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco:

 

Piu Mosso:

 

Ritardando:

 

Accelerando:

 

Vivace:

 

Legato:

 

Staccato:

 

Appoggiatura:

 

Pianissimo:

 

Fortissimo:

 

A Piacere:

 

Acciaccatura:
