Noun [edit]

tempo (plural tempos or tempi)

  1. (plural: tempos) a frequency or rate
  2. (chess, plural: tempos) a move which is part of one's own plan or strategy and forces, e.g. by means of a check or attacking a piece, the opponent to make a move which is not bad but of no use for him (the player gains a tempo, the opponent loses a tempo), or equivalently a player achieves the same result in fewer moves by one approach rather than another.
  3. (plural: tempos) timing of a particular event – earlier or later than in an alternative situation (as in chess example)
  4. (music, plural: tempi) The number of beats per minute in a piece of music; also, an indicative term denoting approximate rate of speed in written music (examples: allegro, andante)
