What is an "andante"?
An andante is a movement or section of music that is played at a moderate, walking pace. It is slower than allegro but faster than adagio, creating a balanced, relaxed tempo. Andante provides a sense of steady movement and can convey a calm or reflective mood, often giving the music a gentle, flowing quality.
