Brand: 3a
Allegretto (Italian for "joyful") is a musical term that refers to a moderately fast tempo in a piece of classical music. It falls between Allegro (fast) and Andante (moderately), with a tempo between 120 and 168 beats per minute. In Beethoven's symphonic catalog, the designation 3A Allegretto is specifically used for the second movement of his Symphony No. 6 in F major, also known as the "Pastoral" symphony. It reflects the characteristic lively and cheerful pace that is commonly associated with the Allegretto tempo marking.
