QP Music skeleton score: see Insert. Read questions below.
A solo flute gradually gets louder over eight bars, from very quiet to very loud.
What is the Italian term for this gradual increase in volume. [1]
Answer Details
The Italian term for a gradual increase in volume is crescendo. [1] A crescendo (from the Italian crescere, meaning "to grow") instructs the performer to gradually become louder. In notation, it is represented either by the word itself or by an opening hairpin symbol (two lines diverging from left to right: <). In this example, the solo flute moves from very quiet (pianissimo, pp) to very loud (fortissimo, ff) over eight bars, making crescendo the appropriate dynamic marking for this gradual increase.
