ALL Dynamic Markings For Pianists EXPLAINED - FULL Video

Hello everyone, in this video, I will take a look at 50 dynamic markings, their meaning and their function, as well as practical application on the piano. Dynamics are essential in shaping musical expression, whether you're playing classical, jazz, or contemporary music.
I will break down markings like piano (p), forte (f), crescendo, diminuendo, sforzando (sfz), and many more, showing how they impact phrasing, articulation, and overall musical interpretation. Chapters are available below!:)
It doesn't matter if you're a beginner pianist, intermediate, or advanced pianist, understanding dynamics will take your playing to the next level.
I have classified dynamics into 5 basic categories which I will list here:

Class 1 {primary}
Class 2 {changing}
Class 3 {with variance}
Class 4 {expressive, indirect dynamic}
Class 5 {with tempo change}
