What are "dynamics"?
Dynamics in music refer to the variations in loudness or softness of a piece. They indicate how loudly or quietly the music should be played and can range from very soft, such as pianissimo, to very loud, such as fortissimo. Dynamics are marked by specific symbols or words in the sheet music, such as "p" for piano, meaning soft, and "f" for forte, meaning loud. They help to add expression and emotional depth to the music, guiding performers on how to convey different feelings and intensity.
