ABSTRACT
This study was sought to find out the assessment of dynamics in music
performance. In music, the dynamics of a piece is the variation in loudness
between notes or phrases. Dynamics are indicated by specific musical
notation. A dynamic in music is a three-part progression in which the
composer, performer, and listener each play a vital role. Through the use of
dynamics, musicians are able to create drama and different intensities
throughout a piece, making music fascinating and enjoyable. The study
concluded that music is a time-based art form that uses the components of
rhythm, melody, harmony, and colour to communicate thoughts and
emotions in meaningful ways. Music performance is the process of one
person attempting to balance and synthesise the many elements of another
person's performance. Dynamics may also communicate the feelings and
moods that performers wish to transmit to their listeners. However,
dynamics in music are any number of symbols or marks that express
dynamic shifts in a piece of music in order to allow for more musical
performances. One of the recommendations made was that dynamics in
music should be a broad concept and an important perceptual feature of
every musical performance.
