In music, '''dynamics''' are degrees of loudness.
Dynamics range from ''pp'' (''pianissimo'') meaning "very quiet" to ''ff'' (''fortissimo'') meaning "very loud." It is uncommon but not unheard of to see louder or softer dynamics (such as ''ppp'' or ''fffff''), especially in [[Romanticism|Romantic]] works. All dynamics are relative in nature; there is not a defined [[decibel]] level for a certain marking.
