In music, the dynamics of a piece are the variation in loudness between notes or phrases.Dynamics are indicated by specific musical notation, often in some detail.However, dynamics markings require interpretation by the performer depending on the musical context: a specific marking may correspond to a different volume between pieces or even sections of one piece.
Very soft. Piano Soft. Mezzo piano Moderately soft; louder than piano. Mezzo forte Moderately loud; softer than forte. If no dynamic appears, mezzo-forte is assumed to be the default dynamic level. Forte Loud. Fortissimo Very loud. Fortississimo Extremely loud. Louder dynamics occur very infrequently and would be specified with additional f s.
Dynamics in a piece should be interpreted relative to the other dynamics in the same piece. For example, pp should be executed very softly, but if ppp is found later in the piece, pp should be markedly louder than ppp. More than three p s (ppp) or three f s (fff) are uncommon. piano (p) Gently (i.e. played or sung softly) (see dynamics) piano ...

The horizontal axis shows frequency in Hertz. In acoustics, loudness is the subjective perception of sound pressure.More formally, it is defined as the "attribute of auditory sensation in terms of which sounds can be ordered on a scale extending from quiet to loud". [1]
Audio engineers use dynamic range to describe the ratio of the amplitude of the loudest possible undistorted signal to the noise floor, say of a microphone or loudspeaker. [18] Dynamic range is therefore the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the case where the signal is the loudest possible for the system. For example, if the ceiling of a device ...
A dynamic accent or stress accent is an emphasis using louder sound or stronger sound; typically, most pronounced on the attack of the sound. A tonic accent is an emphasis on notes by virtue of them being higher in pitch, as opposed to higher in volume. [1] An agogic accent is an emphasis by virtue of notes being longer in duration.
Loud/soft, mood of music, directorial details to enhance or add variety. Dynamics refers to the louds and softs of a sound, often described in Italian abbreviations. This category also analyses means of articulation or prescribed musical expression to guide a performer in replicating the composer's musical intent.
