Which tempo marking has a range of 60-66 bpm?

• A. Lento
• B. Larghetto
• C. Adagio
• D. Andante

Answer: (B)

Understanding tempo markings helps you connect how fast music should feel with exact beat counts. The range 60–66 beats per minute sits in a very slow, restrained pace that is commonly described by a marking meaning “a little broadly” or just above Largo, placing it between the very slow tempos and the walking pace.

That makes the marking of Larghetto the best fit, since it is slower than a typical walking tempo (Andante) but not as slow as Largo or many Lento settings. Adagio can be slow as well, but it is usually heard around a higher end of that slow spectrum, often around a bit faster than 60–66, while Andante is clearly faster than this range. So the 60–66 bpm range aligns most closely with Larghetto.
