Poco

A little bit

Poco is a musical term derived from Italian, meaning "a little bit". It is commonly used in music to indicate slight variations in tempo, dynamics, or emotions, among other aspects of a musical performance. For example, poco allegro means a little faster than the current tempo, while poco piano means a little softer than the current dynamic level. This term is often used in conjunction with other musical markings, such as poco a poco (gradually), poco più mosso (a little more motion), and so on.
