szólaltatás

Szólaltatás is a Hungarian term that can be translated as "voicing," "sounding," "performance," or "actuation" depending on the context. It broadly refers to the act of making something produce sound or giving it a voice.

In the context of music, szólaltatás refers to the performance of a musical piece, whether by a solo artist, an ensemble, or an instrument. It encompasses the interpretation and execution of the score, aiming to bring the music to life for an audience. This can involve instrumental playing or singing.

Beyond music, szólaltatás can also describe the process of activating or operating a device that produces sound. For example, a speaker system's szólaltatás refers to its ability to reproduce audio. In a more abstract sense, it can mean giving expression to something, such as expressing an idea or emotion, effectively "voicing" it. The term implies an active process of bringing something into a state where it can be perceived audibly or expressively.
