Post by David Richoux »

Saw this floating around Facebook today, don't think I have seen it before.
Good for a giggle or two. :tuba:

I was unfamiliar with the term Ripieno so I looked it up.

Very much an inside joke!

More or less, it's how quickly a person gets angry.

Short temper. We don't say "long temper", that's "slow to anger." If the chart still doesn't make a lot of sense, it isn't entirely your English to blame.

The correct spelling of repiano is with an 'e'.

The Repiano cornet part is considered a "floating" part, occasionally reinforcing Solo Cornets or the Seconds and Thirds as needed. Sometimes the arrangement will have the Repiano double the Soprano in octaves or at a closer interval. Very often the Repiano shares a part with a completely different instrument like the Fluegelhorn.
