Hi Joram, > Well, they are closer than cresc and rit for example.
Definitely! =) > marks like 'Allegro' are valid for a whole piece or at least large parts of it Not really… A metronome marking is only valid until the next time the tempo changes in any way. That change could be immediate and extreme (e.g., “Molto Lento”) or immediate and not-so-extereme (e.g., “Poco meno mosso”) or gradual (e.g., “poco accel.”). The tempo is then reset, either explicitly (e.g., “Allegro”) or by reference (e.g., “A tempo”). > A similar thing (not fully equivalent) is this: bar numbers and > rehearsal marks. Both can be used to identify a point in time, the > latter are for larger chunks, the former more fine grained. I agree that the analogy is not fully equivalent.
