Hi.

"Allegro" is an indication for the speed of execution, i.e. for the
"tempo". "Con brio" adds "with vivacity" to such indication.

Interpreting such indications is seldom a mechanical approach, but if
you need a naive recipe, take the metronome and look at the range
corresponding to "Allegro": "Allegro con brio" is in the faster part of
that range.

Personally, I don't tend to interpret "con brio" as a more detailed
specification on the "tempo", but as a suggestion on the mood of the
player :-)

I hope this is helpful.
