You have a poorly copied copy, Sam, it say “con vaghezza.” The ascending stroke on the right side of the v is broken and barely visible.
As for accuracy, when Italian is used for musical terms by non-Italians, we don’t always follow the rules, or the same rules, for instance, “glissando.” Gliss is French, not Italian.
This will never replace the video of Lucile Lawrence, but what a gas!
If the root is raggiare, it would mean “with radiance.”
That’s why I collected some old music dictionaries, because the recent ones are too limited, but I found that in an Italian dictionary, right after ragazzo.
Wow, I didn’t know. That is really nice. It sounds like Prairie Night. I can’t wait to tell ASCAP.
I’ve never heard the terms for a teacher-dealer, but there is also sometimes a very small commission for referrals that lead to sales.
If you have the talent and dedication, you can prepare yourself, and if you already have an undergraduate degree, perhaps get into a master’s program, most likely music education. What might be feasible is that by the age of 32 or so, you will have learned enough to teach and perform, and you might go to a country where they do not really have a professional harpist and build up a community there, or in part of this country, though few areas are left without harpists. To be a top-flight professional performer, you would need to be extraordinary. However, if you are interested in alternative music, the doors are wide open if you come up with a unique approach.
I think it is very likely in Dewey Owen’s collection of pieces by Purcell, which you should be able to get from Lyra.
I have experienced people who feel free to take advantage of a harp teacher, either by lying or false bargaining. If they think you are weak, they will do it. Some have no respect. With some it must be ego, and then there are those with disorders. Some are snobs, elitist or otherwise, some boorish, some ill-mannered, and some are just mean. Thank goodness it is a (hopefully) minority who are this way.
