WHAT DOES FIORITURA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fioritura

Fioritura is a general term referring to the florid embellishment of melodic lines, either notated by a composer or improvised during a performance. It usually describes lengthy, complex embellishments, as opposed to standardized local ornamental figures such as trills, mordents, or appoggiaturas, and its use is documented as early as the thirteenth century. The alternative term "coloratura" is less accurate. It is closely related to the sixteenth-century practice of diminution or division. It is found in many arias from nineteenth-century opera.

Definition of fioritura in the English dictionary
