Question

which technique was used in the baroque period to create contrast by shifting from suddenly loud to soft or soft to loud dynamics?
○ crescendo
○ terraced dynamics
○ decrescendo
○ ornamentation

Explanation:

• Crescendo means gradually getting louder.
• Terraced dynamics is the sudden shift between loud and soft (or vice - versa), which fits the description in the question.
• Decrescendo means gradually getting softer.
• Ornamentation is about adding decorative musical elements, not related to dynamic shifts.

Answer:

terrace dynamics
