Which term means continue in the same style?

Which term means continue in the same style?

• A. Sempre
• B. Robusto
• C. Senza
• D. Simile

Answer: (D)

Simile tells you to keep going in the same way as the preceding passage. It’s a compact instruction that the same articulation, touch, and rhythmic character should be continued for the following measures until another instruction appears. This is exactly what “continue in the same style” means in practice—maintain the same feel rather than re-marking every measure. The other terms are not about continuing a pattern. Sempre means always or continuously, which can affect overall approach but doesn’t specifically indicate repeating the same style across bars. Senza means without, used for things like without pedal or without vibrato, not a directive to carry through a style. Robusto means robust or strong in character, describing how to play but not signaling continuation of the prior style.
