Many signs are used to indicate the way how music should be played Expression marks.Such as piano forte.These signs seemed to have become established first of all in late music during the first half of the 17th century.The language generally employed is ltalian,and this has the advantage that the comparatively small vocabulary required is now widely familiar amongst musicians of all nationalities.The practice of using other languages,however,seems to be steadily increasing.The rapid growth of the number of signs used by composers has naturally left less and less room for the personal decisions of performers.Great players pay scrupulous attention to a composer's marking,but there are,of course,many ones which cannot be shown even by our modern abundance of signs,and which distinguish a live performance from a dead one.
