Well, when I think of when I see molto. in my music, it's normally like molto rit. or molto dec. It means a big decrescendo, or a big ritard.I'd say the opposite of this could be poco a poco which means little by little. Ex: rit. poco a poco or dec. poco a poco.
In music, it means to accelerate the tempo much. Opposite of molto ritard.
it means that the director/drum major will tell you when to play the next note in that measure(s) and watch carefully because the director/drum major will tell you when to go back to regular time and rit is short for something i just forgot so instead of rit i say ritard
slow down very suddenly until the end, then repeat
rit. or ritard.
