I'm guessing the database ran into a hiccup today.

My search results are missing anything since Dec 2023.

Hi David, aha! So, the original line should be phrased,

sf-fs-fs-sf, d!

When this happens to me, I just throw that reed and take a softer one ;-)

First, Mark gives fssfd as the topic.

Then in his first post, he writes sffsfssfd.

So, imo, sffs was combined with fssfd to yield sffsfssfd.

All of the above combined letters can further be divided into sf / fs / fs and then added to sfd.

These divided letter combinations, (if I divided them correctly), were usually single note dynamic notations used during the time of ancient Italian music. (As well as with Beethoven, Bach and Mozart).

For example:

sf means subito forte, play suddenly (subito) loud (forte)

As to the other letter combinations, I could not find any information.

All of the above information were obtained through many resources with one of them being Quora:

https://www.quora.com/Music-Theory-What-is-the-difference-between-sf-rfz-sfz-and-fp-particularly-in-Beethoven

Here is another article entitled Smfz: https://blog.henle.de/en/2015/09/28/unconventional-dynamic-markings/

Just trying to figure out the letters.

So, Mark, care to inform all of us?
