What does VOLTI mean in Scrabble?
interjection
music
An Italian word used as a direction in music, instructing a performer to turn the page, most often seen at the bottom of a page as volti subito, meaning turn quickly.
Composers and copyists print volti at the foot of a page of sheet music to warn a performer that the piece continues immediately overleaf, leaving no time to pause. The fuller instruction volti subito, often abbreviated V.S., appears where the turn must happen very fast, typically because the music on the next page begins without a rest. Volti comes directly from the Italian verb voltare, to turn, the same root that gives English words such as revolt and the older turning sense of volt. Musicians trained in the Italian performance tradition recognise volti instantly, even though the word itself never appears in the music being played, only in the printed instructions surrounding it.
