Meaning and background

The story behind Tempo

Tempo is the pace or rhythm at which music is performed, and it can more generally describe the speed of an activity. The word entered English from Italian, ultimately from Latin tempus, meaning time. As a name it has an immediate musical association, although it cannot tell us whether a dog is fast, slow or especially energetic.

Meaning
The speed or rhythm of a piece of music; by extension, the pace of an activity. Source
