What is a "crescendo"?
A crescendo is a gradual increase in the volume of music, where the sound gets louder and more intense over time. This musical term directs performers to slowly build up the volume of their playing or singing, creating a growing sense of excitement or tension. Crescendos are often used to add dramatic effect and to enhance the emotional impact of a piece, leading to a climax or more powerful moment in the music.
