People may dispute this, but as a composer and having played in orchestras, I can tell you the slowest tempo "generally speaking" is certainly "Largo". "Adagio" is also slow and so is "Grave" (an Italian term pronounced as two syllables: gra-vay) - but when you play "Largo", it's nap time ;). It's about as slow as it gets.
