DYNAMICS
Dynamics-is the degree of loudness or softness of sound.
It indicates the particular level of intensity in which a music or sound is to be played. Usually loud and intensified music creates great tension and soft music creates a feeling of calmness and tranquillity.
It makes music so expressive that may affect the listener’s mood.
Dynamics describe the volume, or how loud or soft the music is played; Italian terms for dynamics include forte (loud) and piano (soft).
Dynamics signs-are written above and below the notes that are to be played.
