Which term means 'Moving along'?

• A. Movendo
• B. L'istesso tempo
• C. Pizzicato
• D. Grazioso

Answer: (A)

Movendo is the term that signals forward motion or momentum in music. It tells the performer to keep the line moving with a gentle sense of propulsion, rather than stopping or lingering. It’s about sustaining drive and flow through the phrase, sometimes with a slight push in tempo, without necessarily changing the exact tempo itself.

The other terms describe different ideas: L’istesso tempo means to keep the same tempo as before, Pizzicato means to pluck the strings, and Grazioso means to play in a graceful, elegant style. None of those indicate continuing movement forward in the sense of momentum the word movendo conveys.
