8 a or 8 va stands for ottava, the Italian word for octave (or "eighth"); the octave above may be specified as ottava alta or ottava sopra).

Ottava alta 8 va is placed above the staff to indicate that the passage is to be played one octave higher. Ottava bassa 8 vb is placed below the staff to indicate that the passage is to be played one octave lower. [10] [11] Quindicesima alta 15 ma is placed above the staff to indicate that the passage is to be played two octaves higher ...
