What does the musical term attack mean?

Answer 1

I answered this question yesterday. Why is it back? You are probably thinking of the word "attacca" at the end of a movement of a symphony. It directs the conductor to begin the next movement without the usual pause of five or ten seconds that separates the movements of such a work.

Answer 2

You may have seen the Italian word "attacca" in music. It is usually written at the end of a movement to tell the players not to pause for the usual five or ten seconds but to begin the next movement immediately.

Answer 3

Basically like a vigorous accent. Usually played loudly. It can be staccato or more full in length.

Answer 4

It is usually written at the end of a movement of a larger work to indicate that there should be no pause/silence before beginning the next movement.
