A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/A Tempo

A TEMPO (Ital.). 'In time.' When the time of a piece has been changed, either temporarily by an ad libitum, a piacere, etc., or for a longer period by a più lento, più allegro, or some similar term, the indication a tempo shows that the rate of speed is again to be that of the commencement of the movement.
