Practise Italian dynamics and tempo markings

A marking appears on the staff below — tempo markings sit above the staff, dynamics and tempo changes sit between the two staves, just as they would in real notation. Work out what it means and pick your answer. Tick or untick the categories below to focus your practice. The Glossary panel on the right lists every term in the categories you've selected — handy while you're still learning them, though you may want to switch it off once you're ready to test yourself properly.
