Organic to all cultures, music is not only an e mergent property of the timing mechanisms of the b rain (Craig, 2009) but also a manifestation of who we are, how we think and how we feel. The engagem ent of brain and body with sound reflects the temp oral functions of physical, cultural and personal identities. Thus, much can be learned about anothe r by simply listening to their music. Organic to music is time; without time, there is no music. No netheless, the phenomenon of time with its broad i mplications in the sciences tells little about our experiences. The concept of speed, though, is ful l of enlightening character. Take some common term s to describe tempo in music: largo (broadly), ada gio (slow and stately), allegro (fast, quickly and bright), vivacissimo (very fast and lively).
