Fiery.
Printed as part of a heading or at the start of a fiery section, often with a tempo word (Geschwind und feurig, Äusserst rasch und feurig); it holds until the music changes character.
Fiery: lively tempo with bright tone and strong accents — the German con fuoco. Schubert and Wolf use it in headings for songs of enthusiasm or defiance. Since it describes character, pair it with a tempo word and dynamics that support the fire.
Schubert, Dithyrambe, D. 801, voice, m. 1: “Geschwind und feurig.” heads the song.
Feurig is one of 1755 terms in the Gradus musical dictionary: the words, abbreviations and instrument names that appear in printed scores, plus the vocabulary composers use to talk about them.
