quasi improvisando

Italian composer

Definition

As if improvising. Indicates a free, spontaneous quality, as though the music is being invented in the moment.

Interpretive Guidance

In quasi improvisando passages, loosen the pulse and allow the phrasing to breathe unpredictably. Think of a great operatic recitative — the rhythm serves the expression, not the other way around.
