it is often used to indicate one that is just a little slower than Allegro. A similar fate has befallen the terms Adagietto and Andantino. Likewise, the terms largo and adagio have experienced a considerable shift with regards to the tempi, in beats per minute, that they are required to express: A modern largo is slower than an adagio, but in the Baroque period it was faster. Approximately from the slowest to the fastest: Larghissimo – extremely slow (24 bpm and under) Adagissimo – very slow (24-40 bpm) Grave – very slow and solemn (24–40 bpm) Largo – slow and broad (40–66 bpm) Adagio – slow with great expression (44–68 bpm) Larghetto – rather slow and broad (44–66 bpm) Adagietto – slower than andante or slightly faster than adagio (46–80 bpm) Lento – slow (52–108 bpm) Andante – at a walking pace, moderately slow (56–108 bpm) Andantino – slightly faster than andante, but slower than moderato (80–108 bpm) (although, in some cases, it can be taken to mean slightly slower than andante) Marcia moderato – moderately, in the manner of a march (66–80 bpm) Andante moderato – between andante and moderato (at a moderate walking speed) (66–112 bpm) Moderato – at a moderate speed (86–126 bpm) Allegretto – by the mid-19th century, moderately fast (76–120 bpm); see paragraph above for earlier usage Allegro moderato – close to, but not quite allegro (96–120 bpm) Allegro – fast and bright (100–156 bpm) Molto Allegro or Allegro vivace – very fast and bright (124–160 bpm) Vivace – lively and fast (136–160 bpm) Vivacissimo – very fast and lively (160–184 bpm) Allegrissimo – very fast and bright (160–184 bpm) Presto – very fast (168–200 bpm) Prestissimo – extremely fast (200 bpm and over) (At this tempo, cut common time is often used) Additional terms A placere or Ad libitum in Latin - the performer may use their own discretion with regard to tempo and rhythm; literally "at pleasure" Accelerando – gradually play faster Assai – (very) much A tempo – resume previous tempo Con grazia – with grace, or gracefully Con moto – Italian for "with movement"; can be combined with a tempo indication, e.g., Andante con moto Furioso or Furibondo – 'furiously' Lamentoso – sadly, plaintively L'istesso, L'istesso tempo, or Lo stesso tempo – at the same speed; L'istesso is used when the actual speed of the music has not changed, despite apparent
