Speed at which to play a piece of music (5)

I believe the answer is:

tempo

(Other definitions for tempo that I've seen before include "(Musically) the speed to be played" , "What a metronome provides" , "Speed or beat, musically" , "Rhythm or speed as in music" , "Cadence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
