Which term means 'an expert musician'?

• A. Virtuoso
• B. Prodigy
• C. Tenor
• D. Legato

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is naming someone who shows exceptional skill and artistry on their instrument. The term that fits best is virtuoso, which describes a musician who has reached a very high level of technical mastery and expressive ability, often capable of performing demanding works with precision and flair. This is what people mean by “an expert musician.” A prodigy refers to someone, usually but not always young, with extraordinary talent, but it doesn’t specifically denote mastery or performance level. A tenor is simply a voice range, not a descriptor of skill. Legato is a playing style meaning smooth, connected notes. So virtuoso is the precise word for an expert musician.
