What is meant by the musical term ‘Andante’?

Question

Which musical term denotes a slide in pitch which moves in discrete steps, such as dragging a finger over the keys of the piano?

Answer 1

Use the word andante to describe a relatively slow, moderately paced tune. ... An andante movement in a symphony is faster than adagio but slower than allegro. Like so many musical words describing tempo, andante is Italian, a form of the verb andare, "to go." The Latin root, ambire, means "to go around" or "to go about."
