Crescendo and Decrescendo in Music



The decrescendo, or diminuendo, has the opposite effect of the crescendo. The two line are angled and converge to a single point. The length of the lines also depends on how long the decrescendo should last. A decrescendo means to gradually get softer over a marked period of time.



A crescendo marking can be expressed with two lines beginning from a single point opening up into an angle. The length of the lines depend on how long the crescendo should take effect. A crescendo means to gradually get louder over a marked period of time.
