In music
In music a part is the line of music played by an individual instrument (or group of identical instruments) within a larger work. It also refers to the printed copy of the music for each instrument, as distinct from the score which holds the music for all instruments. For example in a string ensemble you would have separate parts for Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola and Cello, even though there might be several of each instrument (and therefore several copies of each part). See: Voice, ensemble, polyphony, counterpoint.
