釋義

分部演奏

樂譜指示同樂器組分成兩部以上

A marking in a musical score that tells players within a single section — such as the first violins — to separate into smaller groups so that each group plays its own distinct part rather than everyone playing the same notes together.

例句

The conductor marked the passage 'divisi' so the first violins would split into two lines.

指揮在樂段標上「divisi」,讓第一小提琴分成兩行演奏。

divisi marking triggers a split within a section

In the slow movement, the cellos play divisi, creating a richer chord texture than a single line would.

在慢板樂章中,大提琴採分部演奏,產生了比單一旋律更豐富的和弦質感。

divisi creates fuller harmony by splitting into distinct pitches

反義詞
  • tutti

    Tutti instructs the whole section to play together in unison, the direct opposite of divisi.

  • unisono

    A marking meaning 'all play the same notes'; once a divisi passage ends, the score may say 'unisono' to signal the section should reunite.

文法句型

divisi + (optional prepositional phrase)

marked + 'divisi'

用法筆記

In orchestral scores 'divisi' applies only to a group of players on the same instrument (e.g. all violas). It does not mean a solo — each player in the section still plays with the group, just a different part of the chord.

常見錯誤

The flutist played a divisi solo.
The first violins were marked divisi, so they split into two groups.
💡'divisi' is a sectional instruction, not a type of solo.
