1. At the beginning of this movement, which instrument plays the melody? What dynamics does the instrument play? What is the tempo marking
for the movement?

1. Violin plays the melody.
2. Examples:
Larghissimo—very, very slow, almost droning (20 BPM and below)
Grave—slow and solemn (20–40 BPM)
Lento—slowly (40–60 BPM)
Largo—the most commonly indicated “slow” tempo (40–60 BPM)
Larghetto—rather broadly, and still quite slow (60–66 BPM) are some kind of basic tempo markings.

In music, dynamics indicate the varying levels of volume of sound that are heard throughout a piece. In sheet music, musical symbols tell the performer how soft or loud a passage is to be played.
