Best Answer

Borrowed time is more commonly referred to as rubato. Rubato refers to slight speeding up and slowing down of a musical phrase, normally the performer would accelerate slightly towards the middle of a phrase and slow down a little towards the end of a phrase.

It is most common within classical Romantic music and should be used very sparingly in earlier periods.
