Strength marks usually use Italian musical terms. Composers have detailed strength marks on the score, from the weakest to the strongest, which can usually be divided into more than ten levels, and the strength of each level is a relative value. Piano, which means weak, is abbreviated as P. The more P, the weaker it is, and there can be at most five P's, which is extremely weak.

forte, which means strong, is abbreviated as F. The more F's, the stronger it is. If the score is marked with five F's, it is quite strong, and the player must do his best to play. In addition to these symbols, there are gradually increasing and decreasing symbols that are much like less than sign and greater than sign in mathematics, as well as sudden increasing and weakening symbols and so on.

Dynamic change is an important means of music expression. It can express rich emotions and cause the contrast and development of music. Generally speaking, the stronger the intensity, the more tense and majestic the music is, and the weaker the intensity, the more gentle and euphemistic the music is.
