Dynamics are used to describe how loud or quiet music is. They are indicated in written notation on music to show how the musician should play certain sections. There are many terms for dynamics used in music, however, we will stick to the four most general terms
{p, mp, mf, f}.
{p, mp, mf, f}.
p = piano (soft)
mp = mezzo piano (medium soft)
mf = mezzo forte (medium loud)
f = forte (loud)
mp = mezzo piano (medium soft)
mf = mezzo forte (medium loud)
f = forte (loud)
