During the Baroque period dynamics were mainly terraced dynamics, meaning they were usually sudden changes in the dynamic levels. However, during the classical period there was a much wider range of dynamics. In addition, composers were much more interested in gradual changes in dynamics, such as crescendo (slowly getting louder) and diminuendo (slowly getting quitter), rather than sudden changes. A perfect example of classical dynamics was a single dynamic passage transforming into a larger structured piece with a wonderful transition, especially if held for specific period of time. In Beethoven’s Finale of the fifth symphony at about the 6:08 minute mark where an interesting transition occurs from a fast pace repeated patterns turns out to be a perfect transition, also referred to as a bridge. This links the fast pace section with the next slow pace section of the piece. This is an excellent example of how dynamics are used in a musical masterpieces were patterns of different volumes are used to emphasis a
