In fact, three doubts.
(a) When a public concert ends, it may be that the audience asks the conductor to repeat one of the compositions just played. In Spanish there is a word for it. We say that the audience asked for a "bis". What is the English equivalent? I once heard the word but have now quite forgotten it.
(b) When an car is not moving, there are two possibilities for the driver. Either he makes the car to move ahead or he makes it go backwards. What is the word for the latter? You say the driver did what?
(c) There is in Spanish the expression "salto de octava". The music jumps one octave higher or one octave lower. For instance, in the 9th symphony, the second movement begins with four "saltos de octavas". What is the word in English?
