Tutti is an italian word literally meaning all or together. As a musical term, it is used in various ways: It may refer to an orchestral passage in which every member of the orchestra is playing at once. Alternatively, if an orchestrator wants a single first violin, second violin, cello, or double bass to play while the rest of that string player's section is silent for the duration of a passage, he writes solo in the part at this point and he writes tutti in the part at the point he wishes the rest of the section to resume playing.
