- un, uno,
or una: one, as for
example in the following entries
- una corda: one string; i.e., in piano music,
depress the soft pedal, altering, and reducing the volume of, the sound. In
some pianos, this literally results in the hammer striking one string rather
than two or three. (For most notes on modern instruments, in fact it results
in striking two rather than three strings.) Its counterpart, tre
corde (three strings; see in
this list), is the opposite: the soft pedal is to be released.
- un poco: a little
- unisono or unis (Fr):
in unison; i.e., several players in a group are to play exactly the same
notes within their written part, as opposed to splitting simultaneous notes
among themselves. Often used to mark the return from divisi (see
in this list).
- uptempo: a fast, lively, or
increased tempo or played or done in such a tempo.[8] It
is also used as an umbrella term for a quick-paced electronic
music style.
- ut (Fr):
first note of the series ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, in fixed-doh solmization.
