Potrebbe starci pursuing ballad? Mi sembra che pursuing abbia più un'accezione negtiva ...
Grazie!!

accordo  Jim Tucker (X): good; "ritmo incalzante" is a frequent collocation, so here by extension // OK, though that meaning is not always applicable, and probably not so for a ballad.
2 min
  -> Thanks Jim, actually the Italian word may also mean "moving faster and faster" or rather "with an increasing rhythm", but one can't use so many words here! /// Yes, I certainly agree. :)
accordo  Mr Murray (X): very nice in this example

fast paced, highly rhythmed


Spiegazione:
"Incalzante" means (literally) that something manages to make you feel compelled to put on your 'calzature' and get going (IN + CALZARE). It may also refer to the fact that that something is so compelling that it envelops you. "Incalzante" is usually paired with rhythm (ritmo incalzante) also in literature when it refers to the rhythm of a narration; and therefore it suggests that the ballad is highly rhythmed

Frase(i) esemplificative:
  • un finale dal ritmo incalzante --> <i>a compelling, highly rhythmed (fast paced) finale</i>
  • la narrazione ci porta a ritmo incalzante verso l'episodio conclusivo --> the narrative's increased rhythm leads us rapidly into the finale
