a short piece taken from a longer composition
An excerpt is a short portion or segment taken from a larger piece of music, text, or work. It represents a specific part of the whole, often selected to highlight a particular section, theme, or idea. In music, an excerpt might be used to showcase a notable passage or to provide a sample of the work for analysis or performance. Excerpts are useful for focusing on specific elements without needing to present the entire piece.
