Norwegian term or phrase: forholdning
"For¬hold¬ninger er definert kun gjennom nødvendigheten av at de oppløses (forsones). Parallelt vil virkeigheten før eller senere slå inn i dag¬drømmene, som forsvinner. Fordi forholdninger er korte og flyktige, som dag¬drømmene, gjentas de stadig."

Da jeg gikk på musikkskolen og lærte å spille piano, begikk jeg en del "suspensions" - både frivillige og ufrivillige.

Explanation:
I can't see this as a set Norwegian term with an established meaning, so I'm guessing at what the scribe might have meant.

Asker: This is an established term, Per, no doubt about that. But we're in the universe of music now....

Asker: Thanks, Bjørnar. I'm using musikkordboken, but the entry for "forholdning" makes no ref to "suspension".

Asker: I see this was ambiguous. What I meant was that the term was found under the entry for "suspension" but not vice versa. And it seems right from what I can see.
