Understanding Decrescendo in Music

Decrescendo (it. decrescere, "to decrease") is a musical term that indicates a gradual decrease in volume or intensity. It is often used to describe the fade-out of a sound or the gradual decrease of volume over time.

In other words, decrescendo is a direction given by a composer or performer to gradually reduce the volume or intensity of a musical passage, often to create a sense of diminishing or fading away.
