Fúvás

Fúvás is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act of blowing air. It derives from the verb fújni, meaning to blow. In everyday language it can refer to the action of exhaling and moving air, as when inflating an object or directing a breath.

In music, fúvás is commonly associated with wind playing techniques and with wind instruments themselves. The term is used to describe both the act of producing sound by blowing air into a mouthpiece and the broader category of instruments that depend on breath, such as brass and woodwinds. Playing fúvós hangszerek (wind instruments) involves control of embouchure, breath pressure, and air flow to shape pitch, dynamics, and tone. The concept is central to pedagogy and orchestral performance, where precise breath management influences musical phrasing and articulation.

Beyond music, fúvás can refer to a gust or sudden movement of air in atmospheric contexts, as in weather reporting or descriptions of wind conditions. The word may appear in discussions of ventilation, combustion, or any situation where directed air flow is relevant.
