CAVATINA
Noun. Early 19th century.
[Italian.]
MUSIC. A short simple song; a songlike piece of instrumental music, usually slow and emotional.
Sometimes, a word makes it into Lexicolatry for no other reason than I like it, and so it is with cavatina, a word that effortlessly carries the grace and beauty of the music it represents. In fact, I liked cavatina so much that I thought I'd try my hand at writing one for the piano. I hope you enjoy it.

Ed, you have an OED, a piano and you're at dexterous ease with both of them! I'm filled with a jealous rage.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I'm not handier with a computer - by the time I had recorded the song on my phone and figured out how to convert the .aac file into an MP3, and then into .WMV for YouTube, I was about ready to (dexterously) lob my computer through the window.
DeleteIt rather killed the ambience of the piece.
Files? I can't even get my nails the right shape.
DeleteIt may have caused you grief, Eddie, but it's great for the rest of us. Lovely piece.
Then it was worth it - thank you, Sally : o )
DeleteAh, our lexicolater is also a Piano Man!
ReplyDeleteVery nice sir.
Add me to the jealous list!
Thank you Jingles : o )
DeleteTouching!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm afraid that's as far as I go when appreciating music... I can't write or play. Anything at all.
And some tastes I have might make you consider if I (even) have listening ear.
So I don't know if I'm paying you a cumpliment - trying though... But I know when something touches me. And your Cavatina did.
Stanley Myers is in Heaven - yes, he went to Heaven; you can't expect to be able to write/play a Cavatina and hope to join the rest of us in "that" other place! - listening to it and thinking on a joint venture... :curtsey:
Add me to the I-don't-know-if-it's-good-but-sounds-awesome list.
It most definitely is a compliment, Teresa, so thank you.
