< A Dictionary of Music and Musicians
POCO, a little; rather; as poco adagio, not quite so slow as adagio itself; poco sostenuto, somewhat sustained. It is the opposite of Assai. Pochettino is a diminutive of poco and implies the same thing but in a smaller degree. This is a refinement of very modern invention.
