What does VELOCE mean in Scrabble?
adverb
music
In music, to be played quickly and with speed.
Veloce is an Italian word that appears as a direction on a score, telling the performer to take the passage at a swift pace. It is related to velocity, and the same root gives the English word for speed. Composers add it to a passage when they want it to rush along rather than simply to be marked with a tempo, so the word tells the player about the character of the music as well as its speed.
