I'd go for "Tempo I".
And I wouldn't recommend using English alternatives to standard terms
like "meno mosso". If you write "meno mosso", it should be understood
by anyone anywhere in the world who has learnt to read music, whereas
if you translate it into English the non-English speakers will have
to reach for a dictionary and even the English speakers may wonder
what you mean.

I'd like to get your vote on the following: what is the best way to
indicate
a specific variance in tempo *within* a section of music already
marked
rubato? Just read the example below and pick the best answer.
Say, for example, that a piece starts with the tempo marking "rubato,
quarter = c. 100", and that there is a two-bar ritard in meas. 10
and 11
with meas. 12 returning to the original "rubato, quarter = c. 100".
What's the best way to indicate that return to rubato:
A. - a tempo
B. - Tempo I
C. - leave out the rit. - use meno mosso and piu mosso (anyone have
a good
English alternative to those phrases?)
D. - any of the above
E. - any of the above, as well as ____________________
F. - none of the above - you missed ____________________
G. - none of the above - don't try this at home!
I appears I'm a bit punchy tonight - thanks for your opinions *and*
your
indulgence!
