this is lovely, I love Italian and I think it is so appropriate that such a musical language is the one that has become the official language of musical terms…

Although I don’t know the language, I think it rolls of the tongue!

Thanks Linda, Sweet Talking Guy and Texasblu. And Texasblu, nice translation! It can now be said I peaked in the middle. :)

My music knowledge is rusty - makes me want to go back and brush up! Had to look up three of the terms - defined, it says

slow stately manner, then slow,gracefully,easily
play fast, but not overly so
faster and faster
lively, gradual slowing
slower ending.

Which, now knowing, makes me appreciate the “tempo” all the more! And in a tanka no less - thank you!

I have no musical background but I like the sound of the words and the way they feel in my mouth!
