This song was all over the place with all the rapid decreshendos and creshendos. They also had fp notes.

They use dynamics to help bring emphasis to certain parts of the music. Not only are their significant changes, going from piano to forte, but they also have very good crescendos too.

At about 45 seconds into the song the enemble decresendo'd and then cresendo'd back to the normal volume. At about 105 seconds into the song the ensemble decresendo'd again, then cresendo'd right back up to normal volume.

I like the way they go from piano all the way to forte without getting to wild or having a bad sound. Also I liked the way when they got loud they don't speed up in tempo.

This ensamble had an excellent use of dynamics. This band was very food at forte-pianos and the crescendoing back up to forte. They also had good abrupt changes from forte to piano, and vise-versa.

the ensembles use of dynamics is very quick and it goes right into it from forte to piano. it also changes from cresendos to decresendos rapidly.

They did crescendos from piano to forte with still having a good tone quality. Their forte pianos went immediately from forte to piano then crescendoed to forte.

The music was very interesting because of their use of decrescendo and the crescendo. Not only that, but with the matter of fact that they did excellent on the forte piano!

They started out at like a forte or mezzo forte. They had really good sound thruogh the entire piece. There cresendos and decresndos were lead by the lower voices and they all followed their conducter well.

The musicians play a lot of forte-pianos and also at the beginning, they played crescendos and decrescendos. They also played notes with emphasis and were well at playing those. Overall they looked like they were into the music which was good with their performance, plus their suits and right notes from long hours of practicing i should assume.

They use lots of cresendos and decrescendos to accent certain parts of the music. This adds more excitement than just playing at mezzo forte the whole time.

The band reall did well with going from piano to forte and then back to piano. The creshendos and decreshendos were very clear and it seemed like everyone was on track of where they were.
