Adagio means "to play slowly". This tempo marking is slower than andante, but a bit faster than largo.

Prestissimo is the fastest musical tempo, followed in decending tempo by presto (very fast), vivace (lively), allegro (fast), moderato (moderate), adante (walking pace), adagio (slow), largo (very slow), and grave (very, very slow). The term "accelerando" means to get faster, and "ritardando" means to get slower, while "a tempo" means to return to the original pace.
