Agitato

/ˌædʒɪˈtɑːtoʊ/ adverb

Definition

A musical direction meaning to play in an agitated, restless, or somewhat fast manner.

Etymology

From Italian 'agitato' (agitated), the past participle of 'agitare' (from Latin). This Italian musical term entered English unchanged, as musicians borrowed directly from the Italian tradition of classical music notation and instruction.

Kelly Says

Musical Italian scattered throughout English ('allegro,' 'vivace,' 'agitato') shows how Italy dominated European music for centuries—composers could assume their audience understood these terms, making Italian a kind of universal language for musicians.
