Pl this is the only question

why is italian the language of musical terminology?

There are some Italian terms like ‘tempo’, ‘adagio’, ‘allegretto’ and ‘rallentando’ which are only used in the context of writing or reading music.

But others, like ‘concerto’, ‘piano’, ‘soprano’ and ‘opera’ were so stylish that they have made their way from the original Italian into our everyday musical vocabulary.

And it wasn't just the terms themselves that were taken on – European composers also adopted compositional forms like the cantata, partita and rondo.

What's more, Italian musical instrument makers like Stradivari, Guarneri and Amati slowly became the stuff of musical legend.
