Musical Dynamics By Mr. Jeffrey Loren VanderKooi, M. Ed. Musical Dynamics • Dynamics are indicators of the relative intensity or volume of a musical line. Pianissimo • Pianissimo Very soft. Usually the softest indication in a piece of music. Piano • Piano Soft. Usually the most often used indication. Mezzo-piano • Mezzo-piano Literally, half as soft as piano Mezzo-forte • 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 • Forte Loud. Used as often as piano to indicate contrast. Fortissimo • Fortissimo Very loud. Usually the loudest indication in a piece. Summary of Musical Dynamics slide 1 Pianissimo Very soft. Usually the softest indication in a piece of music. Piano Soft.
