If this is any help, I have a dictionary that defines these terms as follows: lento: A direction to perform in slow tempo. largo: A very slow tempo, with about 42 to 69 quarter notes per minute. The slowest of the conventional tempos, it is usually combined with a broad, dignified manner of performance.
