When you say refrain, do you mean like a chorus?

English is not my mother tongue, and I sometimes have to rely on translation web sites... So, verses and refrains, or verses and chorus? I found both translations.

For the piano, at times, you can double the score of the piano with an instrument whose tone or timbre is a little different
This is a rookie question but anyway....I looked up 'tone' and 'timbre' and I'm not really sure what the difference is. Does 'tone' refer to pitch and volume, whereas 'timbre' refers to the quality of the sound (as in, what instrument/synth it is)?

Yep :

- by tone I mean pitch (for example, you can double the score of the piano by playing with another instrument one octave above, or at the same pitch, or ...),

- by timbre I refer to the spectral envelope specific to an instrument.
- For example, what distinguishes a La440Hz played by a flute from a La440Hz played by a guitar is the timbre. What allows you to recognize the flute is its timbre.

I think music dictionaries have better definitions than mine

Ok, I wasn't sure, cause I looked up refrain and it seems to have multiple definitions. I would normally say verses and chorus. But I understand what you mean now. Thanks

No, thanks for explaining it; your definition is much more understandable than music dictionaries xD
It makes perfect sense now

And thanks for all your suggestions, much appreciated
