And isn't that picture of an flute" actually a picture of a chord?

I agree, it is a chord. Does anyone have any information on the sound sample (e.g. its creator/origin)? (Adam B 20:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Confusion over the arpeggio example ...

Yes, the example consists of a chord, but in addition has the arpeggio symbol preceding it. And below is one possible interpretation written out. There is some confusion regarding arpeggios because they can be written out with specific note durations, or indicated with the curly, vertical line, which is imprecise as to the duration that each note should receive. Often, the curly vertical symbol will have an arrow indicating if the arpeggio should be played upward or downward. And that points out another liimitation of the arpeggio symbol; that it can only indicate a strictly uni-directional arpeggio. Yamex5 23:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

  how do flutes make a long a sound.

yeah this page sucks ballz. Plus Neo-classicism is like bartok and shit, and I am pretty sure that they at no point employed guitars or sweep picking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.185.244.133 (talk) 22:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cat?

I think this article deserves stub-status 85.165.225.33 20:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Of course. Very few Wikipedians are experienced musicians.

But the answer to the squiggly line thing is "rolled chord", I think. --Uncle Ed (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

This article has copied some bad definitions from elsewhere on the web. It needs to clarify why an arpeggio is not the same as a broken chord. Both involve sounding the constituent notes sequentially instead of at the same time (as in a normal chord) but I think there is a further difference involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.114.210 (talk) 11:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
