With motion.

With motion.

• A. Con Moto
• B. Crescendo
• C. Con Fuoco
• D. Con Brio

Answer: (A)

Con moto means with motion, so the instruction is to keep the music moving forward with a sense of momentum. It tells you to avoid slowing down or lingering on phrases, aiming for a steady, energetic flow that carries the line along. This marking is about tempo character—the music should feel brisk and animated, rather than solemn or lazy. For contrast, the other terms describe different ideas: crescendo is about gradually getting louder, con fuoco signals a fiery, intense character, and con brio means playing with spirited, vigorous energy. Each marks a distinct way to shape the music, but con moto specifically guides the forward drive and continuous motion.
