UHS Wind Symphony Practice Exam

Which term indicates a sustained or prolonged sound?

staccato sostenuto unisono subito

Correct Answer:

sostenuto

Explanation:

Sostenuto conveys a sustained, prolonged sound. It directs players to keep the tone resonant and connected, allowing notes to ring for their full value instead of shortening or detaching them. Staccato means short and detached, which would not sustain a note. Unisono is about players sounding the same pitch together, not about duration. Subito means suddenly or abruptly, again not about sustaining notes.
