musical score

A musical score is a written representation of music, showing the notes, rhythms, and instructions for performing a piece. It includes symbols for different instruments and voices, indicating how they should play or sing together. Scores provide musicians with essential information, such as dynamics (loudness or softness), tempo (speed), and articulation (how to play each note). Scores can vary in complexity, from simple melodies to intricate orchestral arrangements. They serve as a guide for composers, conductors, and performers to interpret and bring the music to life.
