Can someone help with the meaning of these?

[Shagdac]

Wondering if someone could please tell me what these mean. I have been unable to find all the words in my music dictionary. I appreciate your help.

I used one of the translating services online and got "ben chiaro i due temi" to mean "very clearly the two topics."  Of course, you never can be too sure about those translating services.

ben chiaro i due temi=[make] the two themes very clear

rapido e strepitoso=rapid and resounding

it's fun to be a polyglot

[xvimbi]

ben, bene = well, good
chiaro = evident, obvious
i = the
tema = theme

My guess is "there are very obviously two themes". Where is our resident Italian music student when you need 'em?

For whatever it's good for, here are just some sites that feature musical term dictionaries:

My favorite:

Thank you all so much. Also, the one about 2 themes, very clearly makes perfect sense now. The RH is playing "Yankee Doodle" melody, while at the same time the LH is playing "Hail Columbia" melody! Got it!

Thanks again all,

S

I appreciate the sites as well!

chiaro=clear...

The h before the c makes the c have a k sound rather than a ch (like cheese) sound, and the i in italian is often an L in english or other languages.  So, if you remove the ending, and make those adjustments, you get "clar", which is one letter away from "clear", and is very close to the latin root "clarus", which also gives us words like clarity!
