Dynamics
 |
Pianissimo |
 |
Piano Soft. Usually the most often used indication. |
 |
Mezzo-piano Literally, half as soft as piano. |
 |
Mezzo-forte Similarly, half as loud as forte. More commonly used than mezzo-piano. Note: if no dynamic appears, mezzo-forte is assumed to be the prevailing dynamic level. |
 |
Forte Loud. Used as often as piano to indicate contrast. |
 |
Fortissimo Very loud. Usually the loudest indication in a piece, though louder dynamics are often specified with additional fs. |
 |
Sforzando Literally "forced", denotes an abrupt, fierce accent on a single sound or chord. Note: when written out in full, it applies to the sequence of sounds or chords under/over which it is placed. |
 |
Crescendo A gradual increase in volume. Can be extended under many notes to indicate that the volume steadily increases during the passage. |
 |
Decrescendo Also Diminuendo A gradual decrease in volume. Can be extended in the same manner as crescendo. |
