peer agreement (net): +4a piece played as opposed to sung Explanation: In such circumstances, it is often best to bypass the attempted German translation and go straight to the source language. "The term ‘sonata’ comes from Italian, meaning a piece played as opposed to sung. It was therefore a non-specific designation for any purely instrumental composition." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/italian-english/... |
