    I have a few. What is HFPA, DRC'd, FWIW, IIRC? SHM I'm assuming means Steve Hoffman Master?

    a capriccio
    A free and capricious approach to tempo
    legato
    Joined (i.e. smoothly, in a connected manner)
    pizzicato
    Pinched, plucked (i.e. in music for bowed strings, plucked with the fingers as opposed to played with the bow; compare arco, which is inserted to cancel a pizzicato instruction; in music for guitar, to mute the strings by resting the palm on the bridge, simlulating the sound of pizz. of the bowed string instruments)
    staccato
    Making each note brief and detached; the opposite of legato. In musical notation, a small dot under or over the head of the note indicates that it is to be articulated as staccato.

    Grant Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me!
