A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Tramidamente
TRAMIDAMENTE. This strange direction, with ängstlich below it as its German equivalent, is found at the Recitative with the Trumpets in the 'Agnus' of Beethoven's Mass in D, in the old score (Schotts). In the new edition of Breitkopf & Härtel it appears as 'timidamente,' which is correct Italian, and is the translation of 'ängstlich'—with distress.
