A measurement of speed or pace used in music. Tempo is usually measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute), but sometimes measured with subjective terms such as Presto, Allegro, Allegnetto, Andante, Adagio, Larghetto and others. While those terms have some relative meaning to musicians, other terms such as “up tempo” are even more vague, but used regularly.
