In classical music, tempo is typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece (often using conventional Italian terms) and is usually measured in <a href="/wiki/Beat_(music)" title="Beat (music)">beats</a> per <a href="/wiki/Minute" title="Minute">minute</a> (BPM). In modern classical compositions, a "<a href="/wiki/Metronome" title="Metronome">metronome</a> mark" in beats per minute may supplement or replace the normal tempo marking, while in modern genres like <a href="/wiki/Electronic_dance_music" title="Electronic dance music">electronic dance music</a>, tempo will typically simply be stated in BPM.

See <a href="/wiki/Help:Media" title="Help:Media">media help</a>.</div> </div> Although tempo is described or indicated in many different ways, including with a range of words (e.g., "Slowly", "Adagio", and so on), it is typically measured in beats per minute (bpm or BPM). For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying two beats every second. The <a href="/wiki/Note_value" title="Note value">note value</a> of a beat will typically be that indicated by the denominator of the <a href="/wiki/Time_signature" title="Time signature">time signature</a>. For instance, in 4 4 time, the beat will be a crotchet, or <a href="/wiki/Quarter_note" title="Quarter note">quarter note</a>. This measurement and indication of tempo became increasingly popular during the first half of the 19th century, after <a href="/wiki/Johann_Nepomuk_Maelzel" title="Johann Nepomuk Maelzel">Johann Nepomuk Maelzel</a> invented the <a href="/wiki/Metronome" title="Metronome">metronome</a>. <a href="/wiki/Beethoven" class="mw-redirect" title="Beethoven">Beethoven</a> was one of the first composers to use the metronome; in the 1810s he published metronomic indications for the eight symphonies he had composed up to that time.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> With the advent of modern electronics, beats per minute became an extremely precise measure. <a href="/wiki/Music_sequencer" title="Music sequencer">Music sequencers</a> use the bpm system to denote tempo.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> In popular music genres such as <a href="/wiki/Electronic_dance_music" title="Electronic dance music">electronic dance music</a>, accurate knowledge of a tune's bpm is important to <a href="/wiki/Disc_jockey" title="Disc jockey">DJs</a> for the purposes of <a href="/wiki/Beatmatching" title="Beatmatching">beatmatching</a>.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The speed of a piece of music can also be gauged according to measures per minute (mpm) or bars per minute (bpm), the number of <a href="/wiki/Bar_(music)" title="Bar (music)">measures</a> of the piece performed in one minute.

In a <a href="/wiki/Popular_music" title="Popular music">popular music</a> or <a href="/wiki/Traditional_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional music">traditional music</a> group or band, the bandleader or <a href="/wiki/Drummer" title="Drummer">drummer</a> may select the tempo. In popular and traditional music, whoever is setting the tempo often counts out one or two bars in tempo. In some songs or pieces in which a singer or solo instrumentalist begins the work with a solo introduction (prior to the start of the full group), the tempo they set will provide the tempo for the group. In an orchestra or concert band, the conductor normally sets the tempo. In a marching band, the drum major may set the tempo. In a <a href="/wiki/Sound_recording" class="mw-redirect" title="Sound recording">sound recording</a>, in some cases a <a href="/wiki/Record_producer" title="Record producer">record producer</a> may set the tempo for a song (although this would be less likely with an experienced bandleader). Differences in tempo and its interpretation can differ between cultures, as shown by Curt Sachs when comparing Tunisian with Western Classical melodies, while certain genres display rhythmic variation in line with its forms, as occurs with flamenco and its palos.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Musical_vocabulary">Musical vocabulary</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tempo&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Musical vocabulary" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_music_terminology" title="Glossary of music terminology">Glossary of music terminology</a></div> In <a href="/wiki/Classical_music" title="Classical music">classical music</a>, it is customary to describe the tempo of a piece by one or more words, most commonly in Italian, in addition to or instead of a metronome mark in beats per minute. Italian is typically used because it was the language of most composers during the time these descriptions became commonplace in the Western musical lexicon.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Some well-known Italian tempo indications include "Allegro" (English "Cheerful"), "Andante" ("Walking-pace") and "Presto" ("Quickly"). This practice developed during the 17th and 18th centuries, the <a href="/wiki/Baroque_music" title="Baroque music">baroque</a> and <a href="/wiki/Classical_music_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Classical music period">classical</a> periods. In the earlier <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_music" title="Renaissance music">Renaissance music</a>, performers understood most music to flow at a tempo defined by the <a href="/wiki/Pulse_(music)" title="Pulse (music)">tactus</a> (roughly the rate of the human heartbeat).<a href="#cite_note-Haar-7">[7]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Mensural" class="mw-redirect" title="Mensural">mensural</a> <a href="/wiki/Time_signature" title="Time signature">time signature</a> indicated which note value corresponded to the tactus. In the Baroque period, pieces would typically be given an indication, which might be a tempo marking (e.g. Allegro), or the name of a dance (e.g. Allemande or Sarabande), the latter being an indication both of tempo and of metre. Any musician of the time was expected to know how to interpret these markings based on custom and experience. In some cases, however, these markings were simply omitted.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> For example, the first movement of <a href="/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach" title="Johann Sebastian Bach">Bach</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Brandenburg_concertos#Brandenburg_Concerto_No._3_in_G_major,_BWV_1048" class="mw-redirect" title="Brandenburg concertos">Brandenburg Concerto No. 3</a> has no tempo or mood indication whatsoever. Despite the increasing number of explicit tempo markings, musicians still observe conventions, expecting a <a href="/wiki/Minuet" title="Minuet">minuet</a> to be at a fairly stately tempo, slower than a <a href="/wiki/Viennese_waltz" title="Viennese waltz">Viennese waltz</a>; a <a href="/wiki/Perpetuum_mobile" title="Perpetuum mobile">perpetuum mobile</a> quite fast, and so on. Genres imply tempos, and thus, <a href="/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven">Ludwig van Beethoven</a> wrote "In tempo d'un Menuetto" over the first movement of his Piano Sonata Op. 54, though that movement is not a minuet. Many tempo markings also indicate mood and expression. For example, presto and allegro both indicate a speedy execution (presto being faster), but allegro also connotes joy (from its original meaning in Italian). Presto, on the other hand, simply indicates speed. Additional Italian words also indicate tempo and mood. For example, the "agitato" in the Allegro agitato of the last movement of <a href="/wiki/George_Gershwin" title="George Gershwin">George Gershwin</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Concerto_in_F_(Gershwin)" title="Concerto in F (Gershwin)">piano concerto in F</a> has both a tempo indication (undoubtedly faster than a usual Allegro) and a mood indication ("agitated"). Often, composers (or <a href="/wiki/Music_publisher_(popular_music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Music publisher (popular music)">music publishers</a>) name <a href="/wiki/Movement_(music)" title="Movement (music)">movements</a> of compositions after their tempo (or mood) marking. For instance, the second movement of <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Barber" title="Samuel Barber">Samuel Barber</a>'s first <a href="/wiki/String_Quartet_(Barber)" title="String Quartet (Barber)">String Quartet</a> is an Adagio.<a href="#cite_note-Heyman-9">[9]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Basic_tempo_markings">Basic tempo markings</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tempo&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Basic tempo markings" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">"Allegretto" redirects here.

For the Soviet film, see <a href="/wiki/Allegro_Con_Brio_(film)" title="Allegro Con Brio (film)">Allegro Con Brio (film)</a>.</div> Here follows a list of common tempo markings. The beats per minute (bpm) values are very rough approximations for 4 4 time, and vary widely according to composers and works. A metronome marking cannot be deduced from one of the descriptive Italian or non-Italian terms alone. Where both metronome marking and a word indication occur together, the verbal cue is often also intended to express a style or feeling, which a metronome marking alone cannot do. It is therefore important to remember that the exact sense of many of these terms has changed over time. One striking example is the use of the term Allegretto. Between its early use in the 18th century and its later use from the 19th century onwards, it has experienced a slight increment in the tempo that it is intended to denote. Originally it implied a tempo very slightly faster than Andante, whereas now 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.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> 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 Adagio, but in the Baroque period it was faster.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Approximately_from_the_slowest_to_the_fastest">Approximately from the slowest to the fastest</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tempo&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Approximately from the slowest to the fastest" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <ul><li>Larghissimo – extremely slow, slowest type of tempo (24 bpm and under)</li> <li>Adagissimo and <a href="/wiki/Grave_(tempo)" title="Grave (tempo)">Grave</a> – very slow and solemn (24–40 bpm)</li> <li>Largo – slow and broad (40–66 bpm)</li> <li>Larghetto – rather slow and broad (44–66 bpm)</li> <li>Adagio – slow with great expression<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> (44–66 bpm)</li> <li>Adagietto – slower than andante or slightly faster than adagio (46–80 bpm)</li> <li>Lento – slow (52–108 bpm)</li> <li>Andante – at a walking pace, moderately slow (56–108 bpm)</li> <li>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)</li> <li>Marcia moderato – moderately, in the manner of a march<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> (66–80 bpm)</li> <li>Andante moderato – between andante and moderato (at a moderate walking speed) (80–108 bpm)</li> <li>Moderato – at a moderate speed (108–120 bpm)</li> <li>Allegretto – by the mid-19th century, moderately fast (112–120 bpm); see paragraph above for earlier usage</li> <li>Allegro moderato – close to, but not quite allegro (116–120 bpm)</li> <li>Allegro – fast and bright (120–156 bpm)</li> <li>Molto Allegro or Allegro vivace – at least slightly faster and livelier than allegro, but always at its range (and no faster than vivace) (124–156 bpm)</li> <li>Vivace – lively and fast (156–176 bpm)</li> <li>Vivacissimo and Allegrissimo – very fast, lively and bright (172–176 bpm)</li> <li>Presto – very fast (168–200 bpm)</li> <li>Prestissimo – extremely fast (200 bpm and over)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Additional_terms">Additional terms</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tempo&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Additional terms" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <ul><li>A piacere or <a href="/wiki/Ad_libitum" title="Ad libitum">Ad libitum</a> in Latin – the performer may use their own discretion with regard to tempo and rhythm; literally "at pleasure"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEApel196942-14">[14]</a></li> <li>Accelerando – gradually play faster</li> <li>Assai – (very) much</li> <li>A tempo – resume previous tempo</li> <li>Con grazia – with grace, or gracefully<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a></li> <li>Con moto – Italian for "with movement"; can be combined with a tempo indication, e.g., Andante con moto</li> <li>Furioso or Furibondo – 'furiously'<a href="#cite_note-scholes-16">[16]</a>: 349 </li> <li>Lamentoso – sadly, plaintively<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a></li> <li>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 signals to the contrary, such as changes in time signature or note length (half notes in 4 4 could change to whole notes in 2 2, and they would all have the same duration)<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a></li> <li>Ma non tanto – but not so much; used in the same way and has the same effect as Ma non troppo (see immediately below) but to a lesser degree</li> <li>Ma non troppo – but not too much; used to modify a basic tempo to indicate that the basic tempo should be reined in to a degree; for example, Adagio ma non troppo to mean "Slow, but not too much", Allegro ma non troppo to mean "Fast, but not too much"</li> <li>Maestoso – majestically, stately<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a></li> <li>Molto – very</li> <li>Meno – less</li> <li>Più – more</li> <li>Poco – little</li> <li>Rall. or "Rallentando" – opposite of Accelerando</li> <li>Subito – suddenly</li> <li>Tempo comodo – at a comfortable speed</li> <li>Tempo di... – the speed of a ...

They generally designate a gradual change in tempo; for immediate tempo shifts, composers normally just provide the designation for the new tempo. (Note, however, that when Più mosso or Meno mosso appears in large type above the staff, it functions as a new tempo, and thus implies an immediate change.) Several terms, e.g., assai, molto, poco, subito, control how large and how gradual a change should be (see <a href="#Common_qualifiers">common qualifiers</a>). After a tempo change, a composer may return to a previous tempo in two ways: <ul><li>a tempo – returns to the base tempo after an adjustment (e.g. ritardando ... a tempo undoes the effect of the ritardando).</li> <li>Tempo primo or Tempo Io – denotes an immediate return to the piece's original base tempo after a section in a different tempo (e.g. Allegro ... Lento ... Moderato ... Tempo Io indicates a return to the Allegro). This indication often functions as a structural marker in pieces in <a href="/wiki/Binary_form" title="Binary form">binary form</a>.</li></ul> These terms also indicate an immediate, not a gradual, tempo change.

From the viewpoint of <a href="/wiki/Kolmogorov" class="mw-redirect" title="Kolmogorov">Kolmogorov</a>'s complexity theory, this means such a representation of the data that minimizes the amount of memory. The example considered suggests two alternative representations of the same rhythm: as it is, and as the rhythm-tempo interaction — a two-level representation in terms of a generative rhythmic pattern and a "tempo curve". Table 1 displays these possibilities both with and without pitch, assuming that one duration requires one byte of information, one byte is needed for the pitch of one tone, and invoking the repeat algorithm with its parameters R012 takes four bytes. As shown in the bottom row of the table, the rhythm without pitch requires fewer bytes if it is "perceived" as it is, without repetitions and tempo leaps. On the contrary, its melodic version requires fewer bytes if the rhythm is "perceived" as being repeated at a double tempo. <table class="wikitable" width="auto" style="text-align:left;">

distributes the complexity of perception between rhythm and tempo. In the above example, the repetition is recognized because of additional repetition of the melodic contour, which results in a certain redundancy of the musical structure, making the recognition of the rhythmic pattern "robust" under tempo deviations. Generally speaking, the more redundant the "musical support" of a rhythmic pattern, the better its recognizability under augmentations and diminutions, that is, its distortions are perceived as tempo variations rather than rhythmic changes: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">By taking into account melodic context, homogeneity of accompaniment, harmonic pulsation, and other cues, the range of admissible tempo deviations can be extended further, yet still not preventing musically normal perception.

A 240 bpm track, for example, matches the beat of a 120 bpm track without slowing down or speeding up, because both have an underlying tempo of 120 quarter notes per minute. Thus, some soul music (around 75–90 bpm) mixes well with a drum and bass beat (from 150 to 185 bpm). When speeding up or slowing down a record on a turntable, the pitch and tempo of a track are linked: spinning a disc 10% faster makes both pitch and tempo 10% higher.
