A fermata is a symbol of musical notation indicating that the note should be prolonged beyond the normal duration its note value would indicate. Exactly how much longer it is held is up to the discretion of the performer or conductor, but twice as long is common. Other names for a fermata are corona (Italian), point d'orgue (French), Fermate (German), and calderón (Spanish).
