Question

1. choose the best answer.

image of a musical symbol is the symbol for a ____.
options: legato, crescendo, decrescendo, staccato

Explanation:

The symbol shown (a wedge - shaped symbol opening to the right, or a triangle - like shape with the base on the right) represents a decrescendo, which indicates a gradual decrease in volume. Legato is a smooth - connected playing, crescendo is a gradual increase in volume, and staccato is short, detached notes. So the correct option is decrescendo.

Answer:

C. decrescendo (assuming the options are labeled as A. legato, B. crescendo, C. decrescendo, D. staccato; if the original options have different labels, adjust accordingly. Based on the given options, the third option is decrescendo)
