In Reply to: What does "triple fortes" mean? posted by marc g. on March 7, 2001 at 10:42:03:
In non-pop/rock, the music gets soft and loud. This considerably adds to the expressive power of the music. A "forte" is very loud. It's indicated in the written notes (known as a "score") with the letter 'f'. If the composer wants the music still louder, or a double forte, it's indicated with two f's, such as ff.Finally, the loudest sound is indicated with three 'fff'.
Towards the end of the marvelous 19th century (the musical style of which is refered to as 'romantic'; this has nothing to do with lovemaking and wooing, but with the aesthetics drawn from the artistic premises of ancient Rome), composers were driving music still further. You might say, in today's degenerated slang, that they got effin EXTREME. They asked for 'ffff', quad-fortes.
