Is there a difference between decrescendo and diminuendo? But I can imagine a piece starting the same way, but then marked f, and then a few bars later, decrescendo In other words, I don't think you can decresc unless you've recently got louder Perhaps it suggests a return to the level of the previous dynamic marking, but I've certainly never heard anything about them being interpreted differently
What do back-to-back crescendo-decrescendo ( lt; gt;) markings mean? For the crescendo and descrescendo mark: small to large means crescendo; large to small means decrescendo Sometimes the amount is indicated by a dynamics letter (f, ff, p, mp, etc ) and sometimes, one must use one's own judgment FOr single staff instruments, the marks are below the staff

Why crescendo or decrescendo over one long note in piano music? There is a "symmetrical" arrangement of a two hairpins showing a crescendo and a decrescendo One of the hairpins is over a single note, the other over several notes If only one hairpin was written, there would be nothing to show that the dynamics should have returned to the original level after both hairpins
notation - What is this lt; gt; thing above a note - Music: Practice . . . Whilst the second looks exactly like an accent sign, it's actually a pair of signs - crescendo and decrescendo Because it's only involving three notes, the more usual hairpins need to be truncated to fit Hence a very quick crescendo to the middle note, followed by an equally quick decrescendo through the last note

dynamics - Unattached decrescendo in a single measure single chord in . . .
