The special meaning of the Italian phrase results from its (9) _context and the
distinctive feature of the instrument it names But in English and other languages, we
abbreviate it to piano The English word still (10) _the same instrument but the
abbreviation discards “and loud" from the original Italian phrase and hence becomes a
