From Wikipedia: Relative loudnessTeacher. "And what does ƒƒ mean?"

Pupil (after mature deliberation). "Fump-Fump." Cartoon from Punch magazine October 6, 1920

The two basic dynamic indications in music are:

  • p or piano, meaning "soft".
  • ƒ or forte, meaning "loud".

More subtle degrees of loudness or softness are indicated by:

  • mp, standing for mezzo-piano, meaning "moderately soft".
  • , standing for mezzo-forte, meaning "moderately loud".

Beyond f and p, there are also

  • pp, standing for "pianissimo", and meaning "very soft",
  • ƒƒ, standing for "fortissimo", and meaning "very loud".
