Secondo

The writing carefully develops equality in the pupil's hands, as well as fostering a keen sense of hearing through interaction with the more complex writing in the secondo part.

Whereas the first part of the dance is light and vivacious, the mood now turns more pompous, with heavy off-beats in the secondo right hand.

In the tenor, the first p. 30 has the secondo choro (C2) and the second p. 30 has the primo choro (C4) for both.

The secondo was the accompanist, and was tasked with regulating and modulating; he or she more frequently strayed into the contested territory at the center of the keyboard. The secondo determined the voice, both his or her own and that of the primo—the secondo in many respects was the public face of the "four-handed moster."

Contorni ( side dishes ) —vegetables and potatoes — are served along with the secondo piatto.

The next course, the primo, involves soup , risotto or pasta, and is followed by the secondo — the meat or fish course, usually served alone, except for perhaps a wedge of lemon or tomato.

When you sit down in a ristorante, they expect you to order two courses at a minimum, such as a primo (first course) and a secondo (second course) or an antipasto (starter) followed by a primo or secondo, or a secondo with dessert.

And my Italian friends freely admit the secondo is the least interesting part of their cuisine.
