What does ADAGIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A musical movement or passage marked to be performed slowly and gracefully, or the direction telling a performer to play in that manner.
Adagio comes from the Italian phrase ad agio, meaning at ease, and composers mark a slow movement of a symphony or sonata with the same word at the top of the score. In ballet, an adagio is also the slow, sustained section of a pas de deux in which the dancers show balance and control rather than speed. The term works both as a label printed on the music and as a name for the piece or passage itself.
