Turn
(Abridged from Russell's "Embellishments of Music.") The Turn partakes in its delivery somewhat of the character of the composition in which it appears, and should be played (or sung), according to Louis Koehler, broad in slow tempo, light and flowing in brighter movements, and always legato. It may be broadly divided into four classes :- I. The symbol placed over the note () or the note preceded by the embel- و lishment written in full. or ৩ Written:- Adagio.
Execution:- 3 Moderato.
Presto.

S. A. B. 1819; d. 1890.
TURN 2. A turn between two notes on different degrees (or four small notes between). Written:or Adagio.
Execution:- Moderato.
Allegro. 5 3. A turn between two notes of similar pitch.
Written:- Adagio.
Execution:- Moderato.
Presto. 4. The turn after a dotted note. The delivery of this turn is the same as the third class in its effect, since the dot is simply another way of writing a second similar note.
Written:- An exception to this fourth rule is made if the dotted note with turn directly precedes a close (possibly forming part of the cadence) and is followed by two notes of equal value leading up or down to the closing notes of the phrase.
