agree  Andras Szekany: hát, régen tanultam zongorát (bizony, bár nem láccik), úgy tudom, hogy andante már lassú - de valahol jó helyen keresgélsz :-))

neutral  T. Czibulyás: Andrással: én is úgy emlékszem, hogy az andante már gyárilag egy "andalgó" tempó, tehát nem valószínű, hogy menet közbeni lassító utasításra utal.
