The Art of the Afterpiece: A Guide to Musical Encores and Conclusions
An afterpiece is a piece of music that follows another piece, often serving as an encore or a concluding work. It is typically shorter and lighter in tone than the main piece, and is intended to provide a final flourish or conclusion to the performance.
In this context, "afterpiece" can be used to describe any additional musical work that is performed after the main piece, regardless of its length or style. However, it is often used specifically to refer to a short, lighthearted work that is played as an encore, rather than a longer, more serious piece.
