This document outlines various aspects of expression, repeats, and tempo in early music performance. It discusses expression as a spontaneous impulse in early music and how repeats and omissions were used. It also examines tempo as a variable quality and how time-words from the early and later Baroque eras imply both mood and tempo. Finally, it explores dance tempos and how dance titles can guide the tempo of different dances such as the almain, ayre, and brawl.
