Brioso
With vigour, sparkle and confidence
Related
Brioso is an expression mark: play with vigour, sparkle and confidence. It shares a root with con brio ("with spirit"), but brioso often stands as a character mark on its own.
It differs from energico: energico stresses force and drive, brioso sparkle and litheness. The usual mistake is to equate it with "fast" — brioso can work at a moderate or even slow tempo; the point is whether the sound lights up.
