German word meaning 'quickly' or 'fast'; sometimes used in English in musical contexts.
From Old High German 'snel' meaning 'quick.' It's primarily a German word but appears in English musical scores and occasional borrowed usage.
Musicians see 'schnell' in classical sheet music because many famous composers were German and Austrian, so Italian tempo markings like 'allegro' sit alongside German ones like 'schnell,' creating a multilingual musical vocabulary.
