Tempo giusto
Tempo giusto ( ital. "Correct tempo"), not to be confused with tempo ordinario , describes a tempo that is suitable for a certain type of piece of music, e.g. B. a march or dance is considered "customary" or "appropriate". Heinrich Christoph Koch defines the tempo giusto as “in the correct movement appropriate to the piece, which is left to the lecturer to recognize. The measure of time is generally a somewhat light moderato . ”According to Koch, this is synonymous with the tempo commodo (“ in a comfortable measure of time that is appropriate to the piece of music, neither hasty nor slow ”).
Chopin writes e.g. B. for his waltzes op. 64,2 and op. 70,2 Tempo giusto .
The term is also used after the rubato instruction to allow the performer to return to stable, even playing.
