    Any German speakers want to tell me if my instinct on this is correct?

    "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" is the name of a piece of music by Mozart that was just discovered. (He later titled a piece "Eine kleine Nachtmusik")

    The English press about this is translating it as "Very little night music" which seems wrong? I feel like either "Quite small night music" or "Completely small night music" would be more accurate.

    When does "ganz" change from "quite" to "completely"? Is it ambiguous here?

    I might not know about nuances in the English language, but "ganz klein" means "very little". "Quite small" could also work.

    "Completely small" would be "total klein" or "völlig klein".

    Aaron Parecki
    ok thanks, so definitely not the "completely" meaning then.

    So when would you use "sehr klein" instead of "ganz klein"?

    @aaronpk
    As @cjk said, ganz is even smaller.

    Aaron Parecki
    In that case wouldn't it be:

    klein, sehr klein, ganz klein

    small, very small, embodying the concept of smallness
