Sweet, to Salieri (5)

I believe the answer is:

dolce

(Other definitions for dolce that I've seen before include "To be played sweetly" , "Musical instruction to play gently and sweetly" , "La ... Vita (Fellini film)" , "sweetly and softly" , "sweet fashion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
