This occurs when a group of notes is heard in a particular rhythm, following which the same notes are heard again with the note values halved. For example, a tune made up of semibreves (4 beat notes) could then be heard moving in minims (2 beat notes). The music is not faster - it is the length of the notes which has changed.
