<< Are there any Latin scholars out there (Horace?) ready and willing to
 create a nice, highly impressive, Latin based version of Mason's "Piano
 Parts"?
 Have a good day,

I like the good ol'e English words to describe piano parts and theri
functions. I have a hard enough time trying to explain what a wippen is, much
less learning the latin for it, and then explaining what that term means, and
then explaining what it does. Lets follow the good old rule of KISS.
