virtuosismi e fughe

English translation: virtuoso flourishes and fugal passages

03:12 Feb 8, 2019
Italian to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Music / Romanzo su musicista ambientato nella Venezia nel 700
Italian term or phrase: virtuosismi e fughe
"Fu un vero successo, tanto che dovette eseguire su richiesta vari bis introducendo virtuosismi e fughe in pezzi già noti."

Non so come rendere virtuosismi e fughe. Ho abbozzato la seguente resa, anche se sono in dubbio sia sulla scorevolezza sia sui termini esatti. Tricks forse è più appropriato di virtuoso parts? C'è da considerare anche il fatto che il libro è ambientato nel 700 per cui tricks, o qualunque altro termine oggi appropriato, dovrebbe essere una parola in uso con questa accezione già al tempo.

The performance was such a success that he had to perform encores adding virtuoso parts and fugues on pieces already known.
