animato
Score's vitality mark
Animato is a musical direction indicating a passage should be played in a lively, animated manner—with spirit and energy.
It often marks a shift from a slower or more subdued section: The tempo picked up at the animato.
Like other Italian musical terms, it appears in scores and program notes.
