attacca
Under attacca (literally "connect") refers to a play statement in the music , which at the end of a sentence can occur or piece. It means that the following piece or movement should be played immediately without a break. Attacca subito represents an increase or affirmation ("immediately afterwards"). However, this is a tautology .
In some vocal works (such as operas or masses ) it is often not possible to deduce from the musical text whether or not there should be a break after the end of a piece. Therefore, the composer can insert this designation to make it clear that the music should continue to be played without interruption.
From Ludwig van Beethoven onwards , it also became common to combine several movements in symphonies , piano sonatas or concerts ( “Sonata quasi una Fantasia” , 4th and 5th piano concerto , 5th symphony ). Robert Schumann and Richard Strauss are also in this tradition .
