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:
B. - Tempo I
Clear and concise; unambiguous.
C. - leave out the rit. - use meno mosso and piu mosso (anyone have a good
English alternative to those phrases?)
Also quite understandable, but what's wrong with the Italian?
