Volume‚ also referred to as dynamics‚ is one of the most important components of sound. Composers use volume as a way of controlling the emotional content and shape of a piece. It is interesting to note‚ however‚ that early composers did not generally mark their scores with instructions about volume until well into the 17th century‚ but depended upon the musicians to determine the appropriate levels of volume for a specific performance space. Composers started writing indications for dynamic levels
