Allegro (music)
In musical terminology, tempo ( Italian, 'time'; plural ''tempos'', or ''tempi'' from the Italian plural) is the speed or pace of a given piece. In classical music, tempo is typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece (often using conventional Italian terms) and is usually measured in beats per minute (or bpm).

Tempo may be separated from articulation and meter, or these aspects may be indicated along with tempo, all contributing to the overall texture.
