It is usually in the dominant , subdominant , parallel , or relative key of the musical work's main key, but also in any variation or combination of them; the subdominant of the relative ...
The larger the beat value of the meter, the slower the tempo. Therefore, meters with beat values of a minim/half note (e.g. 2 2, 3 2) should be performed with a slow tempo; those with quaver/eighth note beats (e.g. 3 8) are fast; while those with crotchet/quarter note beats (e.g. 2 4, 3 4, 4 4) are performed
