Help with a German Musical Term

Post by Steve Marcus »

The term for which I am looking is something like herverträtend. It means "to the fore" as in "this is the primary voice/part."

Thank you in advance to whichever scholar/German speaking member of TubeNet can respond with the correct spelling of the term that I'm thinking of.

Wotton's Dictionary of Foreign Musical Terms (Breitkopf & Hartl, 1907, p. 102) has:

Hervortretend (Ger.). Stepping forward, advancing; standing in relief. A term often marked against particular instruments in a score, that are to be brought out prominently.

Artificial words do not count! Good inner rhymes though.

O.k., you got me. It's a word from a story that was printed in my 4th grade Lesebuch (reading training book) in grammar school.
It's still not the maxxed out version which is:
Hottentottentrottelstottermutterattentäterlattengitterwetterkotterbeutelrattenfangprämie. :-)

German composita can be a nice source of fun.
Also great are specimen of local idioms:
"Tu mich ma ne Ziege"
"Wamama in Spanien, hattatta gerechnet"
(both Ruhrdeutsch)
"Des kasch grüa amola und da Hasa süda" ("You might as well paint it green and cook it to feed rabbits" - expressing one´s distrust in quality and/or usefulness of an item)
"Gadaladalella" (consisting of three nouns)
(both Vorarlbergerisch)
