Melodic movement by step
Two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody

A virtuoso solo passage inserted into a movement in a concerto or other musical work, typically near the end.

These produce a high-quality recording for audio, they need a power source such as a battery, and often contain two microphones or diaphragms to enable recordings in a variety of patterns.
