Study Notes
Dynamics in Music
Definitions of Dynamic Terms
Basic Dynamic Terms:
- F (Forte): loud
- P (Piano): soft
- MF (Mezzo-Forte): moderately loud
- MP (Mezzo-Piano): moderately soft
Gradations of Dynamics:
- Crescendo (Cres.): gradual increase in volume
- Decrescendo (Decres.): gradual decrease in volume
- Diminuendo (Dim.): gradual decrease in volume (same as decrescendo)
- Rinforzando (Rinforz.): sudden increase in volume
** Extreme Dynamics:**
- FF (Fortissimo): very loud
- PP (Pianissimo): very soft
- FFF (Fortississimo): extremely loud
- PPP (Pianississimo): extremely soft
Other Dynamic Terms:
- Sforzando (Sfz.): sudden, strong accent
- Rinforzato (Rinf.): emphasized or reinforced
- Poco a poco (Poco a poco): gradual increase or decrease in volume
- Perdendo (Perd.): gradual decrease in volume, often to a whisper
Note: These terms can be combined and modified to convey specific dynamic instructions to musicians.
