Grave

“Grave” in musical circles means a serious and often slow piece of music. 

I suppose “grave” music could be played at someone’s grave – a place of final resting. 


A “grave mistake, on the other hand, is a serious misstep in judgment.  Someone usually blows it big time if something is referred to as a “grave mistake.”

Try this sentence on for size:  A “grave” musical score was played at the “grave” of the once famous inventor, who died after making a “grave mistake” when his lab blew up in his face.”
