Which term refers to how loud or quiet the music is?

Answer 1

dynamics, crescendo and decrescendo. The volumes are ppp ( p = piano, also known as soft and very quiet ), pp, and p ( amount of P's depend on how low and soft the music writer wants it; maximum is usually three ). And fff ( f = forte, means loud depending on how many forte marks. Then there'll be mp and mf, which means the loudest for the piano and the softest for the forte.

Answer 2

The overall term is 'Dynamic'. The dynamic of a piece is shown on the score by use of a number of terms and symbols. The three main letters are p, f and m. p represents the Italian word piano which translates literally as soft, f is forte literally loud and m is mezzo which is middle or medium. Combining these letters in different ways enables a composer to describe what the dynamic should be at any point within the music.

ff very loud

f loud

mf middle loud

mp middle soft

p soft

pp very soft

There are also many other effects available such as crescendo and diminuendo, a gradual rise and fall of dynamic over a designated amount of time and other effects such as accents which show that a particular note must be played more loudly than others surrounding it.
