Arpeggiorelated

Arpeggiorelated is a term used in music theory and related disciplines to describe content, techniques, or concepts that pertain to arpeggios. An arpeggio is a type of broken chord in which the notes of a chord are played in sequence rather than simultaneously. The phrase arpeggiorelated is not a formal category in most theoretical texts, but it is commonly used as a descriptive label or tagging concept to group materials that focus on arpeggio-based ideas.

Areas typically encompassed by arpeggiorelated content include arpeggiated chords, arpeggiation techniques, and the use of arpeggio patterns in melodic and harmonic practice. Topics may cover patterns that ascend or descend, how arpeggios are voiced or inverted, and how arpeggios connect with chord progressions. Notation and performance practice are also relevant, as arpeggios may be indicated by specific markings in scores or executed with particular touch and timing on instruments.

Instruments and contexts where arpeggio-related ideas are prominent include piano and guitar technique, string playing, and brass or woodwind exercises that explore arpeggiated figures. Arpeggios are fundamental in improvisation and composition across genres such as classical, jazz, pop, and folk, where arpeggiorelated concepts help build melodic shapes, harmonic support, and expressive fluency.

The term is primarily used as an indexing or descriptive label rather than a distinct theoretical category, serving to identify material that centers on arpeggios and their applications. Related topics include arpeggios, arpeggiators, broken chords, and chord progressions.
