pleasure, enjoyment delight piacere m (plural piaceri) pleasure, enjoyment. delight. favour/favor, kindness.

​PIACERE, A, 'at pleasure,' is generally prefixed to a cadenza, or cadenza-like passage, in solo vocal music, to indicate that the expressions, and the alterations whether of time or force, are left to the will of the individual performer.

A piece of fun, happy music is known as giocoso [ juh–koh-soh ], meaning “merry; playful.” It can also be used occasionally to describe a particular tempo. Giocoso in Italian literally means “playful.”

Adagio Lento – slowly (40–45 BPM) Largo – broadly (45–50 BPM) Adagio – slow and stately (literally, “at ease”) (55–65 BPM) Adagietto – rather slow (65–69 BPM)

You choose piace or piacciono based on how many things you like. Piace if singular, piacciono if plural. You use the indirect object pronouns (mi, ti, gli, le, ci, vi, gli) to conjugate the verb piacere. You add the preposition A in front of the person who is doing the liking if you decide to express the subject!

Italian composers were the first to adopt music notation, and then the first to add annotations (language to indicate expression) to their scores. The practice became accepted in Italy, and then was adapted and formalized into one language through the rest of Europe, so that all musicians could understand.
