FORTISSIMO

The question many people have when playing dynamics, is how loud or how soft they should play? Well, imagine you have an Ipod and you control the volume, imagine the middle is medium right, a little bit louder will be mezzo-forte, then forte, fortissimo and fortisissimo, or mezzo-piano, piano, pianissimo, pianisissimo if your going softer. The more music you learn it all will make sence. Now look at this symbol for "fortissimo" that's louder.

Fortissimo

When you see that symbol under the notes, you have to play those notes louder. And you keep playing louder until you see something different. So "ff" is louder than "f"
