col destra
[Italian, with the right (hand)]
Italian term used in piano music indicating that a specific passage is to be played by the right hand. The Italian words col destra are translated as "with the right" (col is short for colla which means with and destra means right implying the right hand). Since col is short for colla, colla destra would mean the same as col destra. This term is typically designated with the abbreviation C.d.
