Track 2:
I used the tempo tapper to find out the tempo for track 2 - the tempo i got was 105. The tempo does change later in the piece. at 1:03 the tempo increases. I used the tempo tapper again and found that the new tempo was 122. The Italian tempo marking equivalent would be Lento in the beginning. Then at 1:03 the theoretical score could be marked as Vivace.
A reason for using Italian tempo markings would be for classical music such as string quartets/ operas ect. However, for new genres such as pop/rock there would be a bpm. This is due to the fact that older genres were founded by Italians as most of the composers were Italian - therefore articulation was in Italian. However, new genres of music are spread around the world - therefore there needs to be tempo markings lots of people can understand.
Its very common to see phrase marks in music for strings as the layout of the instruments usually entails phrase marks - as the way one plays the instrument. For example - violins use bows and play across numerous strings. The same principle goes for guitarists - however they use a plectrum.
