cantabile
- s smooth and flowing
- Melodies flowed from his fingers in a pure cantabile that would be the envy of many an opera singer.
- Spinning out its delicately chromatic cantilena like the mistress of cantabile that she is, Soprano Caballe stopped the show for a full two minutes and 45 seconds.
- The cantabile melodies transfer prettily enough, but Debussy's Golliwog just doesn't Cake-Walk.
