Term used, much as in a literary reference, to refer to part of a composition generally characterized by some particular treatment (e.g. ‘an arpeggio passage’). The term ‘passage-work’ is often used to describe sections, especially of keyboard works, consisting of brilliant figuration but of modest thematic substance (like the Italian passaggio).
