a gradual decrease in loudness Definitions of decrescendo. (music) a gradual decrease in loudness. synonyms: diminuendo.

crescendo (abbreviated cresc.) translates as "increasing" (literally "growing") decrescendo (abbreviated to decresc.) translates as "decreasing".

A decrescendo is a decrease in volume over a predetermined period of time. For example, if a passage starts at a fortissimo dynamic and progressively gets quieter until reaching a pianissimo dynamic, this is a decrescendo.

gradually reducing force or loudness; diminuendo (opposed to crescendo)

The opposite of Crescendo, Decrescendo is a directive used by composers to indicate that a given passage of music should gradually get softer. In written music it is graphically represented by a long “V” laying on its side pointing to the right, thus representing a decrease.

1. : a gradual decrease in quality or quantity. 2. a. : the quantity lost by diminution or waste.

gradually decreasing volume In music, decrescendo indicates that music should be played in gradually decreasing volume. This is the opposite of a crescendo, in which volume gradually increases.

If the composer wants the change from one dynamic level to another to be gradual, different markings are added. A crescendo (pronounced "cresh-EN-doe") means "gradually get louder"; a decrescendo or diminuendo means "gradually get quieter".

Feeling it heading. Away. Until it's very quiet. And that's how diminuendo. Works it's very important because it allows loud and powerful passages that have reached a climax to then die.

For slow transitions between dynamics, a composer must use a crescendo or a decrescendo (diminuendo). A crescendo is used for gradually getting louder, and a decrescendo or diminuendo is used for gradually getting softer.

In programming (Java, C, C++, JavaScript etc.), the increment operator ++ increases the value of a variable by 1. Similarly, the decrement operator -- decreases the value of a variable by 1. a = 5 ++a; // a becomes 6 a++; // a becomes 7 --a; // a becomes 6 a--; // a becomes 5. Simple enough till now.
