POMPOSO, 'pompously,' is used by Schumann in the Humoreske, op. 20, for pianoforte. He marks the last movement but one 'Mit einigem Pomp,' or 'Un poco pomposo.' Handel had employed the term a century before in the first movement of the overture to Samson. It is also used by Sterndale Bennett as the title of the trio in the Symphony G minor, op. 43.
