A well-trained memory is essential for a player to envision and select — from the numerous combinations available to the mind's eye — those tactical "moves" that cause the most advantageous resolution of a given partita.

chained_bear commented on the word partita
Wow, WeirdNet's done it again.
Usage:
"'It is strange stuff, fugues and suites of the last age, crabbed and knotted sometimes and not at all in the modern taste, but I do assure you, Stephen, there is meat it in it. I have tried this partita in C a good many times, and the argument goes so deep, so close and deep, that I scarcely follow it yet, let alone make it sing. How I should love to hear it played really well — to hear Viotti dashing away.'"
