 Re: Poco Forte marking in Brahms

Brahms (and Beethoven) rarely used mp and mf. A standard dynamic range would be ppp-pp-p-mp-mf-f-ff-fff. A Brahms dynamic range would be pp-piu piano-p-poco forte-f-piu forte-ff. I think of a Brahms piano as mp and a poco forte as mf. It is important to distinguish the 4 types of fortes-most orchestras see the the letter "f" and just play loud. The case of the 3 types of piano is complicated by Brahms' use of p dolce and p sotto voce. I take these to be more of a change in tone quality than in dynamics.
