[1] Maestoso also is associated with the advent of Classicism, Romanticism, and the newer forms of neo-classicism and neo-romanticism.
The interpretation of maestoso is varied by the conductor depending upon the overall style in which the piece is written.
The term is commonly used in relatively not fast pieces, but there are many examples, such as the first movement of Mozart's Flute Concerto No.
Common examples of maestoso tempo include Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory, the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No.
Maestoso is also used very often for parts of pieces meant to sound large, triumphant, heroic, and victorious, like the Olympic Fanfare and Theme by John Williams.
