- Addolcendo — A musical execution term of Italian origin, literally meaning 'sweetening' or 'softening'. It instructs the performer to transition smoothly toward a warmer, more melodious, soft, and velvety sound emission, gradually reducing any harshness or intensity to enhance the lyrical expressiveness of the passage.
- Love — An archaic variant or stylistic borrowing from Italian designating the feeling of love, an intense romantic passion, or the object of deep affection. In classical musical terminology, the term frequently appears in expression marks (such as 'con amore' - with love, with passion) to guide the sensitive interpretation of a piece.
- Amoroso — An execution directive written on classical musical scores, through which the composer requests the performer (solist or orchestra) to render that specific passage in a warm, tender manner, full of love, affection, and romantic sensitivity. As a borrowed adverb, it guides the tempo and expressiveness of the instrumental performance.
