Musical Notation
241
Speed is indicated by markings which may be
above or below the stave. Examples are:
Presto which means Fast
Allegro Quite fast
Allegro moderato Moderately fast
Moderato Medium pace
Andan te Slow
Largo Very slow
Unfortunately, there are many other Italian words
and phrases which may be used. The best thing to
do
is to adjust your XL program until the speed
sounds right, and not worry too much about what is
written on the music.
Two other markings which may appear next to
notes are # and b. # (sharp) means that the note
should be raised by one semitone and b (flat)
means that the note is lowered one semitone.
All other markings which may appear on sheet
music (and there are many of them) can be ignored.
