Crescendo

A crescendo is a musical term that indicates a gradual increase in loudness or intensity of the sound. It guides musicians to start softly and progressively play louder, creating a sense of building energy or excitement in the music. This dynamic change enhances emotional expression and can evoke feelings of anticipation or drama. Crescendos can be applied across different instruments or voices, and their timing and duration are carefully controlled to achieve the desired effect in a performance.
