    Theory DYNAMICS

    The tempo marking means how fast you are playing.


    It can be expressed in BPM(beats per minute) or in foreign terms.

    Largo – broadly (50–55 BPM)


    Adagio – slow and stately (literally, "at ease") (60–72 BPM)
    Andante – at a walking pace (84–90 BPM)
    Moderato – moderately (96–108 BPM)
    Allegretto – close to but not quite allegro (112–120 BPM)

    Allegro – fast, quickly, and bright (120–128 BPM)


    Vivace – lively and fast (132–144 BPM)
    Presto – extremely fast (168–200 BPM)
