Hi,
what is the italian term for in strict time??? Thanks

Marcato? I think so, I'll double check.

tempo giusto.

i thought marcato basically meant forced and more accented... could be wrong. i'd probably say non rubato, indicating that the performer shouldn't play around with rhythm at all... but i'm clueless

Rigoroso?? maybe

Tempo giusto is right!

I thought that at first but it means more like appropriate than strict. I guess you could argue that rubato is appropriate in some cases.

Just been to Dolmetsch on line

rigor (m.), rigore (f.) (Italian) strict time
rigoroso (Italian) in strict time

Tempo stricto?

I would definitely go for tempo giusto.

Tempo guisto! (Guisto -- Just from Justice.!)

Also from Dolmetsch on line

Tempo giusto (Italian m.) the speed the style demands, the appropriate tempo

I suppose it depends how strict you are about the definition strict

guisto -- equal, steady and exact time

Tempo Comodo = at a convenient speend
Tempo guisto in strict time

From old "ABRSM Rudiments and Theory of Music" book

AB guide to music theory Part 1 - tempo giusto - in strict time, rigoroso - strict.

Definitly Tempo Giusto.

The best ecample I know is the Schubert Piano Sonata in A minor D784 I think, marked Allegro Giusto.
If you know this , its obvious the first movement should be played exactly at the same pace throughout.

Indeed it is, but so far at the grad old ages of 16 i have been told that it mean : with gusto, very fast, at a suitable pace, a gusty tempo and finally, in strict time, although most sources tend to think it's either in strict time or a precise tempo, the very first two links on google contradict each other! so i'm stumped!

I'm still convinced the adoption of 'tempo stricto' would clear up all confusion...

My gut reaction is Tempo Guisto, that certainly what I advise my Theory Students. As explained guisto is taken from the same root as justice. Italian is a latinate language, so us anglophiles whose language is a mixture of almost everything should expect it to follow latin rules not english ones.

ritmico - rhythmically

'tempo stricto' ....
is that an actual term??

Oh yes!

I agree

'Tis now.

Yea...coinage...
better remember myself not to write that in my school music exam...

You could always say you'd read it on the ABRSM website

....yea....

Marcato literally means "marked" as in forced, accented. That's about the only vocabulary I know!
