How is ordinario played?
Resume the ordinary execution relevant to the current instrument and passage. Ord. normally cancels the active special technique or restores the altered parameter—such as bow position, pressure or contact material—without automatically changing an independent mute, vibrato instruction, string choice or other simultaneous state.
How does ordinario sound?
Normal playing.
In context
Ordinario is an Italian return-to-normal direction. Specialist, critical-edition and publisher sources repeatedly give ord. as its short form, while orchestration guidance uses it to cancel a local special action. Read the score context to determine what becomes ordinary; the marking is not necessarily a global reset.
