una corda

corda f (plural corde) rope. (anatomy) chord, cord. (music) string, cord (of a musical instrument)

one string Origin of una corda 1. Italian, literally: one string; the pedal moves the mechanism so that only one string of the three tuned to each note is struck by the hammer.

[Italian, one string] In piano music, this directive indicates that the soft pedal is to be used. The words "una corda" are shown under the bass staff where the soft pedal is to be depressed and the words "tre corde" (three strings) under the bass staff where the soft pedal is to be released.

On a grand piano, the una corda pedal shifts the entire mechanism to the right, so the hammer only hits two of the three strings. The resulting note is softer. Also, since the strings are hit by a different part of the hammer, the sound is muted and less bright.

The word "cauda" is derived from the Latin word for tail. Conceptually, it is easy to see in the cauda, the root of the modern term, coda, which arrived when Latin was replaced by Italian as the musical lingua franca.

The use of the soft pedal is generally notated with the words una corda (Italian for 'one string') or due corde (Italian for 'two strings') to show when the pedal should begin being used, and tre corde or tutte le corde ('three strings' or 'all the strings') for when it should be released.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the piano had evolved to have three strings to most notes. The soft pedal of this time was more effective than today, since it was possible to use it to strike three, two, or even just one string per note - this is the origin of the name una corda (Italian for 'one string').

On a grand piano the left pedal is known as the una corda (one string) or shift pedal, and moves the whole piano action including the keyboard slightly to the right. The result is that the hammer strikes fewer strings per note, making the sound quieter and changing its timbre.

The name una corda literally means “one string” because when the pedal was first introduced (by the piano's inventor Bartolomeo Cristofori, at which time it was a manually operated stop) it shifted the action so that the hammers struck one string rather than two.

Programming Language: R3 Corda uses Kotline, a programming language that targets JVM and JavaScript. Because of the use of the programming language Kotline, this platform has a very good level of integration with other programming paradigms. Architecture: Corda architecture aims to create a global logical ledger.
