==Terminology== In [[Sheet music|musical scores]], clash cymbals are normally indicated as ''cymbals'' or sometimes simply ''C.C.'' If another type of cymbal, for example, a [[suspended cymbal]], is required in an [[orchestra]]l score, then for historical reasons this is often also indicated ''cymbals''. Some composers and arrangers use the plural ''cymbals'' or ''crash cymbals'' to indicate clash cymbals, with the singular ''cymbal'' to indicate a suspended cymbal. Composers will often condense the clash cymbals and a suspended cymbal into the same part. There are a number of techniques used to indicate which is desired. Whenever ''with stick'' or ''with mallet'' is written, a suspended cymbal is used. A return to clash cymbals can be specified with the [[Italian language|Italian]] phrase ''[[a due]]''. [[Russia]]n composers developed a notation to differentiate between clash and suspended cymbals in which a + (plus sign) is written over a note to be played on suspended cymbal and a Β° (open circle) is written over a note to be played with clash cymbals. In foreign language scores, such types of cymbals are known as {{Lang|it|piatti}} or {{Lang|it|cinelli}} (in Italian), {{Lang|de|die Becken}} (in German), and {{Lang|fr|les cymbales}} (in French).
