Re: Fw: Useful expressions

[Ariel David Moya Sequeira]

I have some:

 

Largo: very slow.

 

Adagio: slow.

 

Andantino: at walking speed.

 

Andante: at ease.

 

Moderato: not too fast, not too slow.

 

Allegro: fast.

 

Allegretto: in a gracious mood.

 

Vivace: very fast

 

Presto/prestíssimo: as fast as possible.

 

Tempo di menuett: between moderato and allegretto.

 

Grazioso: as far as I'm concerned, legato on fast notes (16th, 32th) and staccato on slower notes (whole, 8th).

 

Tempo di marcia: march style.

 

Agitato: with movement.

 

Poco moto: less movement.

 

Con fuoco: appasionately.

 

Con brio: with liveness.

 

Dolce: with a gentle mood, to press the keys softly.

 

...

 

 

There are many other, but I don't remember every single performance _expression_ in the music world.

 

Hope this help.
