Gioioso
A bright, joyful manner
Related
Gioioso is an expression mark: play with brightness, joy and song. It is close to giocoso ("playful"), but gioioso stresses joy itself, not necessarily a joke.
It differs from brioso: brioso is vigour and sparkle, gioioso is emotional happiness. The usual mistake is to play it fast — joy can be moderate; the point is whether the sound opens upward and outward.
