riff
I Vitriol hanno sì preso in prestito qualcosa dei DT (specie durante gli assoli di synth in cui l'ottimo Jordan Rudess senza dubbio approverebbe le soluzioni e i giochini pazzerelli del tastierista) ma non sconfinano nel già sentito nemmeno una volta. E appunto nemmeno una volta mi è parso di aver già sentito un riff, un virtuosismo in particolare.
And not once have I had the impression of having already heard a riff or a particular virtuosity. Nothing, except for some small and sporadic hints.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I find it faaar more hard to translate than riff...
don't you?
how did you translate 'auree' in this context?
I would be very embarassed to translate this more than the previous part! What did you use for it?
tnx! :)
Jim, shall I change virtuosity to flair, ingenuity?
is there any other text in the OT?
ah DT play "progressive (metal)", not heavy metal :)
