Sentences with RITARD (3)
The word simply implies 'robbing the time,' but it is robbed after the same manner in which one 'robs Peter to pay Paul,' that is, a ritard in one part of the measure must be compensated for by an acceleration in another part of the measure.
Natalie's voice is rather shrill, her Italian accent harsh; her rendering of the impassioned aria is strictly confined to following the musical directions, _p.p_., _cresc_., _ritard_., and so forth; even at the point where the inspiration of the love-stricken Elvira culminates in the words '_Vien' ti posa--vien' ti posa sul mio cor!_' she never ceases to beat the time with her right hand.
The -ritardando- (abbreviated -ritard.- or -rit.-) means to lessen the speed, the -accelerando- (abbreviated -accel.-) to quicken the speed, and the -hold- ([Fermata]) to hold the note, over or under which it is placed, as long as musical taste dictates.
