Nonexamples are the opposite of examples. Whereas examples provide an instance of similarity, nonexamples provide contrast. A nonexample may be similar to the concept but contain one or more attributes and provide concept boundaries.

Tempo is a key element of a musical performance. Within a piece of music, tempo can be just as important as melody, harmony, rhythm, lyrics, and dynamics. Classical conductors use different tempos to help distinguish their orchestra's rendition of a classic piece from renditions by other ensembles.
