Hi Simon, all, next to the notes, there are usually these kinds of texts:
1 tempo: bold, above the staff 2 dynamics: in italics, below the staff (depends on the instrument etc.) 3 articlulation 4 other Examples: 1 Allegro, Tempo I, … 2 dolce, dim., cresc., … 3 dolce, staccato, … 4 m.d., simile, … As mentioned in this thread, some tempo-related expressions are often written in a different category from what would be logical: rit. accel. a tempo written like category-2-expressions. a) Why is that the case? Is there a historical reason for that? b) Would you recommend to stick to this (rit = category 2) or would you recommend to separate tempo from other categories? c) Are there correct/scientific categories and terms for these categries close to mine above (1-4)?
