What tempo marking is 112 BPM?
112 BPM sits where Moderato (moderate, roughly 108–120 BPM) and Allegretto (moderately fast, roughly 112–120 BPM) meet. Treat these ranges as conventions rather than rules: editions and metronome makers print slightly different numbers, and an Italian marking describes character as well as speed.
Half time and double time
Counted in half time, 112 BPM feels like 56 BPM; counted in double time it feels like 224 BPM. When you tap along with a recording and get either number, both describe the same music; choose the pulse that gives you sensible bars and accents.
Practising at 112 BPM
At 112 BPM the beat moves briskly, and small hesitations become audible. Check that each change lands on the beat rather than just after it, keep accents even, and compare your playing with a drum groove as well as the plain click: the groove shows whether your time also feels right.
