Re: Page size order conventions
OK: Verdi, Giuseppi. It seems to be common in formal and administrative use. True. It’s incorrect, though (see https://accademiadellacrusca.it/it/consulenza/%C3%A8-pi%C3%B9-corretto-firmare-nomecognome-o-cognomenome/93#:~:text=Come%2520si%2520pu%C3%B2%2520verificare%2520in,Mario%2520Rossi).

Re: What paper to use for printing
When I need to, I use Aralda by Favini: https://www.favini.com/gs/wp-content/up ... 022-IT.pdf

Re: Lyrics in foreign language: italics of not?
I second John’s opinion: italics for words in languages other than the main language. “Adieu” has been incorporated in English, though (Marilyn Monroe sang “said adieu to love, don’t ever call again”), so no need for italics in this particular case. However I’d italicize the word in the score under ...

Re: Lyrics: to uppercase or not to uppercase?
Uppercasing first letter of verses is a typographical device which only makes sense in a book. It is probably used because short verses seeem “hanging in space” when lower cased. They don’t make much sense in a music score, unless the capitalization is intended as a way to mark the beginning/end of ...

Re: Ornaments in different languages
I have no suggestions of ornaments resources in different languages, but I am wondering. Speaking of baroque ornaments, I’d say most ornaments are kept in their original language: pralltriller, coulée de tierce, appoggiatura… Some others are translated: mordente/mordent/mordant… To make things more ...

Re: Italian question
the problem with the Italian "standard" terminology is, how do you determine where it means "continue to use the pedal as normal until the end" and when it actually means "hold your foot down on the pedal constantly without lifting it until the very end of the piece"? ...

What about “Tenere il pedale abbassato fino alla fine”?

Re: Interesting notation in Henle
I think that I would play this one as a very fast roll starting on the second beat: Acciaccatura.png Precisely. I can add its name is “tierce coulée en ascendant”. A French name because it is mainly used by Couperin and other French composers. In English it’s something like “upgoing third with a pa...

Re: Italian question
However, I remember that in Beethoven times pianos had a pedal-driven action which put a felt between the hammers and the strings, named “sordino”. Am I wrong?

Re: Italian question
Here Henle says the Moonlight is to be played with the resonance pedale pressed - “senza sordini = without dampers”. https://www.henle.de/blog/en/2013/06/24/una-corda-–-con-sord-–-mit-verschiebung-how-do-i-‘mute’-my-piano/ Again, a sideways glance at Beethoven is advisable. He opens his ‘Moonlight’ ...
