“Is music a foreign language? You may think so when you concert programme or sleeve note gives you words like ‘aleatory’, ‘mordent’, ‘tritone’, and ‘quodlibet’.  But just as a smattering of French will get you by in the local bistro, so a small stock of musical definitions will serve you in your hour of need.   And here they are.”
