In music, played in a tender, loving manner with smooth and expressive quality.
From Italian amoroso, derived from Latin amor meaning 'love.' The term entered musical vocabulary during the Renaissance to describe emotional, affectionate performance style.
Musicians use 'amoroso' to tell a story without words—it's basically the musical equivalent of whispering sweet nothings to your audience. You'll hear it in romantic concertos where the composer wants you to feel the love in every note.
