Codette

/koʊˈdɛt/ noun

Definition

An alternative or variant spelling of codetta, used occasionally in English musical texts.

Etymology

A variant spelling of 'codetta,' likely influenced by English spelling conventions that sometimes drop the double 't' found in Italian diminutives.

Kelly Says

This spelling variation is rare in modern usage, but if you see 'codette' in an old music textbook, it's just another way of saying the same musical concept as 'codetta.'
