Why?

Fast, with gusto, in the the Russian manner without - never seen allegrezza but it's probably a diminuitive of allegro, so probably a articulative instruction - but a little sustained.

So the "russian" manner might be "detached" and the instruction is to make the notes sustained rather than detached.

But I'm guessing completely here Boneman :-)

Italian speakers, am I even close ???

Ciao,

Steve

Re: Italien Terms

The online dictionary translates allegrezza as exhilaration. So I think
"senza allegrezza ma poco sostenuto" is a somewhat flowery instruction not to play too fast.
