Notes I have carried on my PDA or in my Franklin planner for years: Tell Tchaikovsky the News

Info Tell Tchaikovsky the News
The new composer’s dictionary:
Adagio Frommagio—to play in a slow and cheesy manner
Angus Dei—to play with a divine, beefy tone
A Patella—unaccompanied knee-slapping
Frugalhorn—a sensible, inexpensive brass instrument
Dill Piccolino—a wind instrument that plays only sour notes
Approximento—a musical entrance that is somewhere in the vicinity of the correct pitch

--From Reader’s Digest, submitted by E.T.Thompson
