Somewhat animated: a gently moving tempo, close to andante con moto.
Printed as a heading above the first bar; it holds until the next tempo word. As a heading it sets a gently moving tempo — it is not a comparative, unlike Etwas bewegter.
Somewhere near an easy Andante con moto: the music should flow rather than stand. Schubert heads “Frühlingstraum” with it, Brahms “Auf dem See”. It suits lilting accompaniments and songs with a dreamy rather than urgent motion; add a character word if the mood is not clear from the music.
Schubert, Winterreise, D. 911, No. 11, “Frühlingstraum”: the song is headed “Etwas bewegt”, before the contrasting “Schnell” and “Langsam.” sections.
Etwas bewegt is one of 1755 terms in the Gradus musical dictionary: the words, abbreviations and instrument names that appear in printed scores, plus the vocabulary composers use to talk about them.
