Which term means 'more motion'?

• A. Moderato
• B. Più mosso
• C. Rubato
• D. Poco a Poco

Answer: (B)

When you look for a term that means "more motion," you want the directive that directly increases tempo or drive. Più mosso does exactly that: it literally means "more movement" and tells you to play with a quicker tempo or added forward push compared to what came before. Moderato sets a moderate pace, not more motion. Rubato allows tempo flexibility for expression rather than a steady increase in speed. Poco a poco means gradually, little by little—often a gradual change, not an immediate instruction to move faster. So the term that conveys "more motion" is più mosso.
