Glossary of Terms.
Absolute Music, music per se without relation to the arts, or to any presentation whatever outside of it.[43]
Chamber Music Pitch. Formerly absolute pitch did not exist. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the pitch was high. This we find according to the old organs, which are some of them a tone higher than our present French diapason. Chamber pitch in olden times differed from church pitch. The adoption of a uniform pitch is very much to be desired at the present time.
Divertimento, a kind of chamber music suite, or combination of pieces of a pleasing and diverting kind.
Gudok, a violin-like Russian instrument with drones.
Volte Subito, or Vide Sequens, written usually V.S. It means turn over quickly, or see what follows.
Violone, the Italian name for the double bass.
