Art/Literary - Music / music | | Italian term or phrase: frase | It's still the text on the orchestra director, but this time it's a review of one of his recordings (Mascagni's Amica):
"Evita di cadere nell'enfasi di maniera e sottolineare con eccesso di sonorità i turghori della scrittura mascagnana."
Whatever way I try to put it, it still sounds awful! |

| Note from asker to answererThanks, everyone. In the end I chose a combination of all the last 3 answers. I wish I could have given points to you all. I'm giving them to Angela just because she posted her answer first. Here's the final wording (which sounds the least awkward to my native English ear!):
"He avoids mannered emphasis and underscoring Mascagni's compositional surges with excessive sonority"
Thanks once again. I'm relieved to say that I've now finished translating the text!!!
Best wishes.
Sarah
