How is senza rallentare played?
Continue through the marked passage without letting the pulse sag. The direction often guards a cadence, diminuendo, difficult transition or ending where performers might naturally relax, but articulation, dynamics and phrasing can still be shaped within the steady tempo. It is corrective rather than accelerative: do not add speed, simply prevent an unwanted rallentando until a new tempo instruction or the passage ends. Write the phrase in full; senza rall. is documented for senza rallentando, not as a general abbreviation of senza rallentare.
How does senza rallentare sound?
A practical warning against an unwanted ritardando.
In context
Historical dictionaries translate senza rallentare as without slackening the pace, and direct orchestral and piano scores print the complete phrase in contexts that demand maintained forward motion. One score strengthens the instruction with rigorosamente in tempo, making its practical role unmistakable. No stable general abbreviation was established, and the neighbouring senza rall. must not be transferred from senza rallentando.
