Can someone define 'Soon' in musical terms?


Recommended Posts

In musical terms, "soon" is not a commonly used term. However, I can provide some possible interpretations:

Subito: This Italian musical term means "soon" or "immediately." It's often used to indicate a sudden change in dynamics, tempo, or articulation.

Presto: While not exactly meaning "soon," Presto is a tempo marking indicating a very fast pace. It might imply that something should happen quickly or soon.

Imminent: This term is not directly used in music notation, but it describes an event that is about to happen or is impending. In a musical context, it could suggest that a particular section or event is approaching soon.

well, after the yes album, fragile, and close to the edge, it was all downhill from there ? LOL (not really, tales from a topographic ocean was excellent as were really almost all other yes albums...)

somewhere in my old books is the rodger dean artwork book which explained his techniques and work approach, one day when i grow up, i want to be an artist. although my mom said "you can't do both"...

There are a lot of people who want to know ?

and please, no jibba jabba.

I'd like a definition of "jibba jabba," and I don't mean reposting my "Old Euthymia" bourbon label. ?

Ah, you need no definition of 'jibba jabba', being a fine exponent of the art of 'jibber jabbery '

The label was a fine piece of work used quite humorously.

Thank you for your fine responses, now deviating a little but staying with the 'Soon' theme, what would you say would be the outer limit in time to the usage of the word 'soon'. For example 'Coming Soon' when would it be no longer 'soon', 1 month, 2 months, 8 months, a year, or is it open ended?

A lot of folk seem to be unhappy with Cakewalks use and understanding of the term 'soon', what gives?

I don't believe it would align with Promidi's post above, so what is it to be understood as. and are people right to be unhappy, angry even with the Cakewalk 'Soon'?

perhaps jibberish was derived from such classical statements?
