The literal meaning of the Italian word “Andante” is “at a walking pace”, with suggestions of “easy-going”, frequently the second movement of a larger composition. That seems to be the implication of the andante marking for the B minor Prelude from Book I of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. In which case what do mean by più andante (more andante) – slower, faster? And what does Liszt mean by andante religioso? Still more the imaginary spectator in Debussy’s Clair de lune marking: andante très expressif (very expressive andante). Take your pick.
