tasteful music Explanation: just a suggestion. "musica di livello" sounds to me as though written by a person "di basso livello culturale". |

World-class? World-wide known? Explanation: Could the source sentence be "musica di livello internazionale"? In this case, it could mean this artist makes a world-wide known and/or appreciated music. |

quality / classy Explanation: Maybe you could try something like "quality music" or "classy music". It sounds to me as if they meant "music of high cultural level" or similar. Just a hint. ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2009-07-05 10:20:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, I forgot to add "music" in my answer! Of course the complete solution should be "quality / classy music". ;) |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1background music / MUSIC Explanation: In a standard script format the scriptwriter would only write MUSIC (capitalized). I think "Musica di livello" it's a convoluted way to say "Musica di sottofondo". I've never seen such an expression in a script before (and I've read something like 300 so far)... |

incidental music (?) Explanation: Puzzling... I found no reference whatsoever to 'musica di livello' used in this context, hence low confidence level. Could 'livello' refer to the 'sound level', i.e. not background music but a 'full blast' score, so to speak? Or, could the expression be used as a semiotics-of-cinema alternative to 'incidental music' (see below)? 'B. Suono/musica extra diegetica: (Livello esterno) la sorgente sonora si presenta con evidenza all’esterno della storia. A. Suono/musica diegetica: (Livello interno) la sorgente sonora è all’interno della storia, appartiene allo spazio fisico all’interno del quale si svolge la storia' (Source: www.soqquadro.org/appunti/la_musica_nel_cinema.ppt) |
