Tempo Again:
A piacere – the performer may use his or her own discretion with regard to tempo and rhythm; literally "at pleasure"[11]
Con moto – Italian for "with movement"; can be combined with a tempo indication, e.g., Allegro con moto
Assai – (very) much
A tempo – resume previous tempo
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)[12][13]
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
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 slow, Allegro ma non troppo to mean Fast but not too fast
Molto – very
Poco – a little
Subito – suddenly
Tempo comodo – at a comfortable (normal) speed
Tempo di... – the speed of a ... (such as Tempo di valzer (speed of a waltz, dotted quarter note. ≈ 60 bpm), Tempo di marcia (speed of a march, quarter note ≈ 120 bpm))
Tempo giusto – at a consistent speed, at the 'right' speed, in strict tempo
Tempo semplice – simple, regular speed, plainly
Tempo primo – resume the original (first) tempo
