What does LARGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A musical direction indicating a very slow and dignified tempo, or a piece or passage played in that manner.
Largo is one of the slowest tempo markings in Western music, slower than adagio and close to grave, and composers write it above a passage to signal that it should be played broadly and with dignity. The term comes from the Italian word for broad, reflecting the wide, unhurried spacing between notes that a largo passage typically has. Beyond the tempo instruction itself, largo can also name a whole movement or short piece composed in this slow style. Performers treat largo differently from simply playing slowly, since the marking also implies a stately, weighty character rather than mere sluggishness.
How LARGO is used
A specialist musical term, used in scores and by musicians rather than in ordinary conversation.
- The conductor marked the second movement largo.
