Arpeggiando

⭐⭐
adverb / musical term (music theory / performance techniques)

Definition

A musical performance directive indicating that the notes of a chord should not be played simultaneously, but successively, from lowest to highest or vice versa, mimicking the characteristic plucking technique of the harp. Unlike a structural arpeggio, this term functions as a dynamic stylistic instruction, demanding fluidity and distinct individuality for each sound component.
