Crescendo

Increase force.


In a musical score, a crescendo (kray-SHAYN-doh) is a dynamic marking indicating a steady, measured increase in volume over a certain period of time.

Crescendo is a Directive card. It directs the querent to increase force or pressure, or to speak up in order to be heard; or it points to a time when such an increase is underway.
