Re: To reach a crescendo ...

THis is completely off the subject, but if we are going to gripe about word choices.... I hate when people use "myself" incorrectly. People use lots of words incorrectly, but "myself" just annoys me because they are obviously using it because they think it makes them sound more proper... The crescendo thing, on the other hand, doesn't really bother me.

Could you say that crescendo is not just the growth itself, but the "state of growing". The ground can slope (verb) or have a slope (noun). A sound can crescendo, but can it have a "crescendo"? Is "crescendo-ness" a quality that a sound can possess?? I don't really even know what I'm talking about any more, so I'm just going to stop...
