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.
slow down gradually a little bit.
From the Harvard dictionary of Music: poco means ' little', and ritardando means "gradually lackening in speed' ( or, slowing down ). SO,it means a small--not very much- slowing up of the tempo.
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
rit. or ritard.
