It stands for forte-piano (refering to the expressive technique not the instrument) which means you hit the note hard (forte) and as suddenly as you can you die down to piano. It's quite common for a crescendo to follow a forte-piano.
What symbol is used to cancel a sharp or a flat?
A natural. If a natural is added before a note, then if that note is sharpened or flattened in the key signature, then for that one note that has the natural in front of it (and all of the rest of the same notes in the bar), it will not be sharpened or flattened.
Eg. If I was composing a song in the key of D Major (F# and C# in the key signature) and I wanted a normal F (not sharp), then I would add a natural in front of it. And for the rest of the song, all of the Fs would still be sharpened.
Which was the First song that ran over 15 minutes?
There were a lot of symphonies that extended their pieces to be incredibly long back when classical music was the thing. It's probably impossible to know for sure which was first.
When something is divisi you split the notes between two people or more of the same instrument.

What is the function of music in Africa?

Music is also a way of bringing communities together, as the elders of the community teach the young people how to play instruments such as djembe drums just by playing to the young people.

What is the best book for learning music theory?
You can get very good books on music theory in most bookstores or music stores... perhaps even the library. Music theory is not easy, however it is something you can teach yourself. You need a keyboard or something for note playing, but mostly, it's reading. You also need blank music sheets. You may be able to find a class in a junior college as well, or seek out a music teacher who tutors from a high school or college.... even a music theory student might be willing to teach you.
I also find that as you play instruments or sing, you learn some theory as you go along. Hearing the flavor of a theoretical idea (for example: pentatonic vs major scale, waltz vs. common time) is crucial to understanding and remembering. When you hear the difference, you've already learned it (though may not remember the name for it!).
What is compound time and what is the difference between it and simple time?
Most regular musical meters are either simple or compound meters. The term "simple" and "compound" refer to the natural divisions of the pulse within each measure.
In simple time, the pulse divides into two equal halves. Most music shows this by using quavers that divide into semi-quavers (or, quarter notes dividing into eighth notes). One would count the rhythm as 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &. Simple time can consist of two, three, or four pulses (ie. 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4 time). In all cases, each main pulse or beat of each measure would naturally divide into two sub-pulses.
In compound time, the pulse divides into three equal portions. Most music shows this by writing each pulse as a dotted quaver (or dotted quarter note). Each dotted quaver divides into three equal semi-quavers, counted as 1 & a 2 & a.
Compound time can consist of two, three, or four pulses. These time signatures are written as 6/8, 9/8 or 12/8. In all cases of compound meter, the top number is a multiple of 3, because the number represents the number of groupings of 3 (6 = 2 groups of 3, 9 = 3 groups of 3, 12 = 4 groups of 3).
What do two dots under a musical note mean?
This bit of articulation in sheet music is called a tenuto. Notes marked with a tenuto are usually meant to be played at full length (or a bit longer if you are playing with rubato in some cases). Some people emphasize the note by playing it louder. Listen to a professional recording of the piece you are trying and see how the performer plays the note(s) marked with a tenuto.
What is a rhythmic note with three beats?
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
Why were Leonin and Perotin notable?
Leonin, who worked in Paris during the second half of the 12th century, and Perotin, who continued after Leonin, developed polyphonic organum. This was a type of music composition the was developed into counterpoint.
Prior to organum, music was very simple, with a single melodic line, sung in unison. There were possible additions, such as a drone, which stuck to a single tone. Organum used the same melodic line duplicated in easy ways such as at an interval of a third or fourth above the main line. This was developed with increasing complexity until, with counterpoint, second and third melodic lines that were very different melodies were used simultaneously, related to each other in accordance with a set of rules developed for the purpose.
What does an eighth note plus a sixteenth note equal?
Those two notes equal a dotted eighth note. In terms of beats, (assuming common time) then the eighth note gets a half a beat and the sixteenth note gets a quarter of a beat, so the two of them together get 3/4 of a beat.
What are flat keys and sharp keys?
A flat key is a key that has a flat on its tonic note. A sharp key is a key that has a sharp on its tonic note.
Why are sharps and flats called sharps and flats?
This series is: Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half.
A whole step is considered to be a movement of two pitches up. For instance, a C to a D is a whole step because the C was moved two pitches up: C sharp and then D.
A half step is a movement of one pitch up. For example, a C to a C sharp is a half step. Also, an E to an F is a half step because there is no pitch in between. B to C is also a half step as there is no pitch in between.
The pitches with sharps are: C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, A sharp, B, C, ...
The pitches with flats are: C, D flat, D, E flat, E, F, G flat, G, A flat, A, B flat, B, C, ...
So for a C major scale (which starts and ends on C) keeping in mind the order of whole and half steps would be:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
The G major scale has to have a sharp to keep the series of whole and half steps.
G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G Scales have sharps and flats to maintain the balance of the scale (the whole and half steps). Notes denoted with sharps or flats are as important as any other notes. Every note is a pitch and equally important when constructing scales.
Each scale requires a sequence of 7 different pitches (some may be "sharps" or "flats".
