A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Giusto

by George Grove

GIUSTO, correct, suitable—'Tempo giusto,' in suitable time; as the fugues in Israel in Egypt, 'Egypt was glad,' 'He led them through the deep'; and also 'Thy right hand, Lord,' and 'The horse and his rider.' Also used in the sense of 'strict,' to restore the time after a tempo rubato.

[ G. ]
