Music tempos, vocabulary?
-(Myspace music www.myspace.com)
Here are some basic ones that will probably be on the test:
Starting from Slowest to fastest: with mentronome markings. It will be useful if you turn on the mentronome to feel the timing of each marking.
Grave=means what it looks like...deadly slow! 40 and below
Largo=looks like large, think large beat, very slow 40-60 Larghetto=Slower 60-66
Adagio=Slow 66-76
Andante=slow walking tempo 76-108
Moderato=moderate tempo, not to fast, not to slow 108-120 Allegro=means happy in Italian, march tempo 120-168
Presto=means fast 168-200
Prestissimo=break neck fast! 200-208

If you don't care enough about the subject to learn this on your own.. then PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD... don't ever subject the public to your "musical" creations.
Adagio -v.slow lento-slow, andante-slow walking pace allegretto-brisk walking pace,allegro-fairly fast, vivace-fast, presto-very fast accelerando - getting faster, ritardando-getting slower.
Pianissimo - v.soft. piano-soft. mezzo piano-fairly soft, Mezzo forte - fairly loud, forte- loud, fortissimo very loud.

Good luck!
Try answers.com it's better than wikipedia b/c it includes wikipedia info plus many other references. If not why not google any question or doubt you may have.
I think the reason we can't just LIST them for you is because there are SOO many... In like all languages and it would be rediculius to list every tempo, expression, and everything all on here...
Some people just make up their own expressions anyway...
Good luck on your test, and go to those links people posted, cause I think they're pretty good...
=)
adagio=fast
presto=insanely slow
allegro=moderate
grave=stop playing
andante=pasta sauce
accelerando=slow down
vivace=twice as fast as humanly possible
slightly not really faster (as seen in percey grainger's gumsuckers march)=place your instrument on the ground, go to the nearest corner, get in the fetal position and cry until the conductor tells you otherwise
This is not rocket science. Get off your lazy butt and look it up!
Your having a test tomorrow and you don't know this stuff !!!! Why haven't you studied all year? Answering all this would take an hour, I can't see how your going to learn it all by tomorrow ! Your going to have to look these all up, try the Wikiepedia, maybe if you print them out and study for the next say about thirty hours you'll retain some of them !!! Talk about having to cram, OMG, your in trouble! If you have a photogenic mind maybe, otherwise I'm betting on an F !!!
