Definitions
- 1 One who melodizes.
"The melodizer revels in flute and cremona stops, occasionally varied by trumpet and vox humana, and thus while one hand performs the customary one-two-three of the waltz, the other gives solos and runs, until it sinks away, probably with a final trill on the piccolo, and the player stands up in time to show that the wicked man has at last turned away from the sin that he was committing."
