I can see the appeal of Andante (Andy?) and Cadenza.
Allegro is an e-commerce platform in Poland. Think eBay.
Coda just makes me think of Child of Deaf Adults.

Allegro sounds like an allergy medicine.
Allegra is used in South Africa, but I've never seen Allegro. Come to that, I've never seen any of the others at all. Marimba and Timpani seem particularly unsuitable to me, but I wouldn't be happy with any of them.
Tala used to be the name of a brand of kitchenware - baking trays, scone cutters, that sort of thing; I think it was American. Does it still exist?

I only like Sonata. It seems like Sonnet and Renata (I used to know a Sonnet, so it's somewhat familiar). My 1st non-name association is Moonlight Sonata, which I guess seems dignified and ethereal.
Coda is increasingly being used, but it's probably not because of the musical term. I do like Koda, regardless, and it adds an interesting layer to that, so it's alright.
The rest don't seem terrible but hold no appeal to me in abstract.
There used to be a user here who liked to put Nocturne in combos. I thought that was sort of neat.

I met someone named Tala and I thought it was pretty. I don't think it was related to music, though. I don't like Allegro because I don't like Allegra. Dante is better than Andante. Raga is okay, but i would only like it for a boy. I like Coda, Marimba, Timpani, Sonata and especially Cadenza. It sounds like a good witch's name!
I actually quite like Cadenza. It falls into the whole Candace/Cadence area for me while remaining more interesting than both of them. Andante and Sonata are alright, but the rest of them barely sound like names to me, and there are better musical names out there.
Allegro is a name in Italian. The forms Allegrino and Allegretto are also known. It seems that the well known Allegros I can find were born mostly at the beginning of the 20th century.
Don't really like any of them
I saw on Nameberry forums somebody mentioned an Arpeggio they met, I kind of like :)

I have seen Sonata used as a name before, I quite like it. I have always liked Cadenza too.
Whoa, cool!
I think Allegro would be acceptable because it sounds like the masculine Allegra. Maybe Dante, but Andante doesn't work for me. Cadenza sounds like a witch. Koda's rapidly becoming popular, so Coda wouldn't surprise me. I can only think of marimbas when I hear Marimba, but if I took that image away, it sounds kind of like a mermaid. Raga is not to my taste, but the sound isn't too weird, so if I found out it was a foreign name, I wouldn't be surprised. Same with Tala, but I like it much better. Idk how to feel about Timpani. I could see Sonata, and I like it.
